I'm thankful for my wife

It's a good portrait. Not an expert on portrait shots but from what I can tell it doesnt have any shadows on the face, which is good, the eyes are bright and fairly sharp, the skin tones are good, and the pose looks quite natural. I'm curious why you decided on black and white, though. I know b&w can often even out skin tones, but with her bright smile and eyes and such a happy tone of the shot it seems to be screaming out for warm colors.

The reflection on the wet sand is a little too bright, especially around the guy's head. Other than that it's a good candid shot.

Hot Candlewax

Nicely sharp pillar candle that has wonderful soft, warm tones. Composition is good, lighting is good, and the capture of the smoke is excellent as I've heard it is fairly difficult to capture/light smoke effectively.

Scents of "Provence"

Comment:
It's a good clean image and the lighting is good. Only negative is the background. I think ideally the back sheet needed to be farther away or else use one large piece of white paper. The line is fairly noticable, slightly 'dirty', and seems a tad tilted.

Blue Spikes

I love the blue color, it is so vivid and vibrant. So many people say center compositions dont work well, but I think this one does. Nicely captured.

A rose by any other name

The insect is so small that I think it actually detracts from the flower. The petals are soft and the colors are good, the yellow fuzzy bits are a nice contrast in color. I think moving the fuzzy bits a tad to the right would have made a slightly more dramatic composition, and omitting the insect would have made the colors and petal shapes be the more dominant features.

Fragranced

I think I would have preferred some light on the neck area the same as the chin but otherwise this is an excellent photograph. The female neck can be a very sensual part of the body, but the lighting is clearly focused in other directions! The lighting/capture of the spritz really makes the shot. Very professional looking.

cleanliness

There are certainly lots of smells in the image but to be honest there is very little there to make it stand out from just a snapshot of anyone's bathroom. Some of the bottles are hidden behind others or the faucets/taps, there are reflections in the mirror and the main faucet/tap, and the space on the right is more than the left which unbalances it a little. Although you did avoid getting the camera and the photographer in the mirror, so that's good!

Odour from birth to death

Not fond of the carpet although cant really say why. I like how you have one candle still lit. I'm leaning towards thinking that there is a little too much smoke, having less smoke would allow more individual plumes to stand out and add more interest, this way it seems a little chaotic. That said, I still think it's a good image.

Cute idea! Lighting is good, composition is good, dof is good. I really cant see anything here that I would suggest changing. It's different, I like it.
