Interesting perspective but not reminiscent of blue per se.

...from Critique Club...

FIRST IMPRESSION:
Nice setup...would make a fairly nice xmas card. :|

COMPOSITION:
Great...what else could I say...If anything, I would try and get the far ball to be surrounded by the white 'thingies' so that it doesn't look like the red comes from center left and leads to the front ball (squint your eyes, you'll see what I mean)...but this is me just being too picky :)

TECHNICAL:
Beautiful focus on the front ball. The softness of the back balls work beautifully. Lighting is perfect, in my opinion. Now, how the heck did you get such great 'smoothness' with a 30 sec. exposure...I guess having a D60 helps :)

ARTISTIC:
Like I said, it would make a nice xmas card. Nothing spectacular in my opinion, i've seen similar shots a few dozen times...but that's just me. :(

OVERALL:
A well executed photo of a somewhat boring subject. I'm not familiar with Vogue Magazine, so I really don't understand your title. In my opinion this belongs on a personal xmas card or with an ad of some sort...not the front page of a magazine or paper...sorry, Gord :(

Great DoF. The tinsel makes a very nice b/g. Lighting is spot on.
Good idea to get an Xmas shot in before we all get sick of them ;)
