I like the grainy-ness and soft color of this shot but I'd like to see more of the altar...or a different angel of the woman.

Her head and body seem wide. Some sharpness and despeckle might have helped here. I am assuming this is a zoom shot and you were back a ways.

Excellent use of grain here. I've been nailed for this in the past, but I absolutely love it. Adds to the overall feel/tone of the image. Well done.

Annie- I LOVE the contrast between the orange background and the bluish green poppy pod. I enjoyed the unexpectedness of the orange and thought that it was absolutely brillent. This is a great honor to unipod!You did an awsome job.

Not sure if the noise is by design or not?

I love all the parallel lines, and the noise really adds to the mood of the picture. It's almost painting-like. 7

Hello from the Critique club, my name is Jon Rowe, and i will be looking at your image this evening :)

Composition/Lighting : i think the composition really works here. the bulb and the pad on the left are positioned well on th horizontal third line, and i love the DOF you used here.

Challenge : I think this met the challenge nicely. you should be proud of this, especially for it to be a first challenge entry. you even received two favorites, something some take months to achieve. GREAT JOB!

Conclusion : i really like this. i think the only thing that i could give my opinion on where i would change this is to possible increase the contrast a little to make the bulb stand out a little more, and maybe a TAD sharping overall. with this being your first entry, i'm sure to see more quality work coming from you. great job, and keep up the great work.

Keep on shootin!

Good luck on your future challenges:)
