The watermark is very distracting, the picture is pretty small. It also would have been nice to be able to make out the guy's expression. That being said, it's a nice shot and I understand how you connected it with the challenge topic but the shortcomings are just too prevalent to warrant a high vote from me. (Not a really low vote either, don't get too mad at me)

Very charming if a little creepy. Very well done though, I think I like this one the most out of all the elf shots you posted. Definetely a hard decision between this and the one where she's peeking out from behind a rock.

Very nice, but the lighting seems a bit awry. I think it would have worked better if the bureau was evenly lit.

Simple and elegant, it all just works perfectly.

Who knew stoping to smell the flowers could taste so good!

Image is a little on the dark side, but I guess that was on purpose as this probably wouldn't look as good if it was bright. I do, however, wish more of it was in focus. Such a close up shot leaves too much of the photo out of focus and none of the interest points are entirely in focus. Regardless of that, this is still one of my favorites of this challenge.

Sorry, but it's just not an interesting image and not very good technically either. Too much noise and not in focus.

Impressive. Looks very surreal, if this was accomplished with basic editing rules then kudos to you (and I have faith that it was =)

Can't think of any constructive criticism, or any criticism at all for that matter.

Still pops out

Very cool idea but I think if there was some way to make the flowers appear vertically in the frame instead of straight out at the camera it would have worked better.

There's not enough light on the front of the statue which somewhat detracts from the effect of the image. I usually take a nice bright wide-beam flashlight with me for reasons such as this (it's easier to carry around than a flash, and I don't have a flash anyways except for the built-in).

I think it wouldn't have made such a difference if the sky behind it wasn't so bright, but it just makes the subject hard to look at.

I do like the shot, just a little constructive criticism.

Three Flowers

Beautiful colors, nice DOF. Glad to see none of the flowers are blown out. A little more light on the red/orange flower would have been ideal, but this is close.
