A firestarter held up to a monitor? The flame's reflection is a giveaway.

I thought this was pretty clever and you picked funky-looking pencils to use, which in itself made this shot stand out from the pack. I took a look at your improved version and it does have more impact - in the eyes and the tones of the face especially. A really nice portrait - she should model for you often, such a wonderful smile!

cool perspective and angle, like the processing

I noticed that the pot is not straight and the outside packets are cut off. Otherwise very good.

Porcini Mushroom with Lichen and Pine Needles
by JuliBoc

Comment by levyj413:
I voted this is a 6, Julianne. I like the composition and choice of subject, and the mushroom's color is reflected nicely in the needles. I tend to prefer higher contrast, though. Also, as a macro, I look for really crisp details. I see them in the lichen, but not in the mushroom. Of course, DOF is a major challenge in macros. The lichen actually looks a little oversharpened, although that might be an artifact of the small image size. I wonder how this would look if you did a gaussian blur on a duplicate layer and then set the opacity to about 50%? It might add a nice glow to the mushroom.

Interesting idea. Only compliant is that the honey looks a big soft focus to me.
