Looks like hand is ghosted image due to movement/slow shutter speed. Good idea with edge lighting around head for separation from background, although it's been blown out into total white. Liked that one eye is hidden from view. Keep it up. :)

I was waiting for a finger over the lips shot. I like the blurriness and the uniqueness of the model. The only criticism I have is the line of light along the middle, it frames the subject but it's a bit blown out.

Sorry, the pink is cool but doesn't make the idea anymore creative or the composition any stronger. 3.

What about the Chinese Zodiac?

Comment by mirdonamy:
I had submitted this photo before there was even a "Chinese Zodiac" challenge. So, originally, I thought I was just being creative, and stretching the challenge title: Zodiac.

However, it backfired on me as soon as the CZ challenge was added. Sadly, I didn't notice until after it was too late to unsubmit. Oh well, thanks for commenting and voting.

Thank those especially who left some constructive criticism about the photograph itself, helping me become a better photographer!

Very nice color choices, although without the border your image may fall a little flat. Right now it looks very clean and appealing. and Gong hay fat choy, too. Although considering there's a Chinese zodiac challenge, it'd be nice if you followed the prescribed challenge here...

I'm tempted to say the boarder doesn't work, but don't dislike it. The colors are good in the Chinatown banner. I feel the whole shot is leaning and that does bother the eye. Anyway it's clear, clean and in focus. Good luck in the challenge.

Doesn't fit theme.
