		| | Neat idea, well executed except I wish the horizon was straight. |

		| | Nice setup and capture.  good focus on the hands.  Hard to tell the candle is lit (who cares) because of the great colors.  The flash is just a touch to bright for me..toned down just a touch...perfect.  Nice work |

		| | nice shot but it really needs a bit of CW rotation. |

		| | I like the concept, but the foreground lighting is too strong and makes the picture unnatural looking.  I find the shirt to be a distraction too.  Maybe grouping the objects tighter and cropping tighter would help. |

		| | This is great. I can see it in a travel magazine ad. |

		| | Nice use of fill-in flash |

		| | IMO, too much light on the hnads, the bacground should be more into focus or more out of focus. Good idea for the travel gudie theme. |

		| | A great scenic - lit with both backlight and flash.  The border holds it together - coming from one who normally doesn't like them much.  I wish you could tie it to a actual destination somehow. |

		| | very reminiscent of shots I've seen in a few "getaway" brochures, so well done on that aspect.   I would have liked to have seen the wine bottle, glass, and candle bowl in focus more. It would have given the image a little more weight, and a better strength to lead your eye to the background... which, by the way, is stunning. it's a beautifully crafted scene otherwise, so keep it up :)

		| | Cool concept. Regarding composition the bottle is a little unworthy.The same about the streaky shirt. Maybe a cropping removing bottle would improve the picture. |

		| | The lighting on the hands is too harsh.  I would have liked if the wine bottle was uncorked. |

		| | NIce idea, but the bottle, candle and glass also need to be in sharp focus for this to really work. Increase the dof just a little |

		| | Nice blurring of the background but I wish the glass on the table (middleground) were in focus too, but that could just be personal preference. Light from flash a little bright, creating harsh shadow between hands. A bounced or diffused flash would've worked nicely. |

		| | this pic has such promise but does not quite work out for me, lovely idea though |
