This photo is too blurry. It would also look nicer if the ring filled the frame more.

This would be better without the little mark on the paper heart.

Congratulations on scoring above a 5.0 as you had hoped.

I agree with you that the reflections on the cross and the light in the background are both distracting. Perhaps you should have stepped a little further back and to the right and pointed the camera a little more to the left. This would have allowed all of the words on the gray stone to be visible and may have placed the red cross in front of the beinlight in the background. Without being there I really can't tell if that would've presented more problems or not. It may have made the reflections better but it may have made them worse. After looking a bit more I realize that if you move too far to the right you will block part of the title "To Those We Serve". The entire composition may need to be rethought.

While I am sure this is due to the material used in the cross (I assume it is marble) it does resemble noise that is often produced at higher ISO levels. I am sure this isn't the case because the rest of the image seems to have none but it is rather distracting.

Where are you trying to focus the viewers attention? The cross is too dark so my eyes naturally look towards the distracting background found between the red cross and gray wall.

In closing, I do feel that you met the challenge as your image does portray something good. Nice work.

I think this is a really good idea. It reminds me of the Dr. Seuss book titled The Sneetches. However I do not believe that I would have considered this well fitting with the challenge topic had I not read your comments on the photo. Most people expect an object showing personification to have a face or the same figure/shape as our bodies do.

I really like your use of a shallow depth-of-field but would prefer it just a little less shallow. It could possibly look better if the white marbles were in the upper left corner to be even further from the green marble. I think it would also be interesting to see it from the white marbles' perspective with the green marble off in the distance.

That is very cool but doesn't fit the topic well enough in my opinion.

What does this have to do with Biology? Try to submit a larger photo next time.

The subjects on the left are meant to show what was their engagement or their newlywed stage. The subject on the right is the present time. I did not mean for it to seem as if the husband had left her.

Your subject is out of focus and the background is too busy.
