Frail Mirrors

Really nice composition and colours, but there seems to be only a tiny fraction of the photo in focus in the top left. It needs more for the viewers' eyes to grab onto. Still, there's something very appealing about it.

Sorry, but in what way is this delicate? Perhaps it's an onslaught of fat and salt on your delicate heart? :-)

Wow! To have managed this under the basic editing rules is really impressive. Looking forward to reading about your light setup and post-processing.

While the wide angle is interesting, this is quite painful to look at - I think you may have over-sharpened it somewhat, and you could have pushed the leaf slightly more off-centre.

I had to come back and comment on this photo. While I see that the technical aspects are all very well done (the lighting is fantastic), I don't understand it. I think it would have worked much better without the man, who seems to me to be somewhat unnecessary, and not in keeping with the feel of the image. I'm very interested to read your comments after voting.

One place off a ribbon! Great photo and it deservedly placed high. Well done on your HM.

My favourite and highest vote in this challenge. The DOF is beautiful and focus spot on, and the pure simplicity of the composition is stunning.

This must be Deen, I recognise the car. Personally I think the post-processing is way over the top as I'm not a big fan of HDR, but the composition is strong, the subject very interesting and it meets the challenge more than adequately. Good luck.

Not voting as, well, I'm the model and wouldn't want to sway the voting! Nice idea, and very well executed. Just hope it's not too subtle for the DPC voters.
