the main fuzzy thing is not all in focus.

This would have been so much better without the light from the flash (in my opinion). Maybe could have used a pinlight or flashlight of some sort to illumintate the white a little better. I just have a thing against flashes.

I almost didn't notice the face in the background! Nice composition and exposure. You didn't blow out the white of the flower and that is good. However, to me, the face in the background looks a little purpleish (It may just be me and my color issues). Is this a white balance issue?

Very nice separation of foreground and background using shallow DOF.

Flaming Monkeys

From Critique Club.

Red, yellow and black - very chineese ;-))

The monkeys are not very sharp and I see some color patching on my monitor.

Just as an idea for exersise: retry the shot on the totally black background, so that there is no red color casting on the edges but use the additional red light to pour it a little over top. Then replace background to red in Photoshop. I think the composition will look more distinct.

very cute kittens, but the lighting, combined with the white background ruins this. makes the image very stark. also i think the whole image should have been in focus. the blurred rope is distracting.
