The lighting and noise work with the models expression and pose to give this a nice pensive mood. There is too much dynamic range for the camera to properly capture, but you've compensated very well, putting detail in the important shadow areas rather than the highlights.

Thank you all for your comments.

I know it is a bit busy, but think about it, isn't thanksgiving a busy time with food all over and a cluttery mess through out the house? My house is..we have stuff everywhere.

I guess it didn't do as bad as I thought it would do.

Like it, like it :-) Good lighting and I particularly like the perspective you chose. Were you up a ladder? Sonja?

I love these! Making them part of a fall still life was a great idea, although it makes the image a little busy. The lighting doesn't do justice to the food here; the glare is a bit overwhelming.

Very interesting. I like the desaturation, the bit of color left really brings out the solitary aspect of the subject. Great focus on both the leaves and the bulb thing. The biggest negative impact for me though is the border. It seems intensely overdone and adds too much white. Perhaps just the inner thin border would've been sufficient. 7

Wow, great shot! I wish there were more leaves around it so you could truly see it was "all alone" but still a high score.

The seperation of color really makes the subject leap out at you. The composition is very nice.
