I like the soft feel of this photo. like lighting is really nice as well. Focus and clarity are really good, and the placement of the subjects within the photo is nice too. I really like this shot. nothing distracting, but if I had to complain about something, it would be that the hood on the middle coat seems dark compared to the rest of the shot, small detail that doesn't hurt the photo, rather an observation. ~Heather~

Smoke and mirrors were used in this one cause kids don't hang up coats!

I like it :) The soft focus and colors really work here.

Beautiful on many levels. Great color choices, nice placements and an overall solid composition. I'd like to know how you created the effect withough photoshop filters, please post. 10.

I like the soft, misty focus that you have used here. Looks like an ad from an Eddie Bauer catalog.

Sure soft focus makes it more interesting but i would used b&w or half desaturation for better effect.

Good composition. The light's a little bright, though I'm guessing it's from a window so you don't have too much control. Maybe a translucent curtain to eliminate a bit of the glow? This also looks kinda cool in two-tone, gives it a rustic type feel.

Not a bad idea and the lighting is good. I would have skipped the "(Seven Coats All in a Row)" part. It feels like the viewer is not trusted. Maybe the photo could benefit from having the white ones number 3 and 5 instead of 1 & 2.

So nice. Great use of muted color against the wood grain. The muted lighting is also perfect. This image is very appealing to me. You do not live in the North becaue these are not winter coats to me : ) Very calming image. I think an entire series of similar images would be a stunning calendar. To take the ordinary and make it extraordinary is true genius. Bravo!

I like the soft nostalgic feel.

Very nice composition. I like the shadows very much. Hanging on the wall like that, the coats have a "ski-lodge" sort of feel. Warm and cozy. Brings back a lot of fond memories. Great shot. Hope it does well.

like the feel and softness, but it seems a tod overexposed digitally... a darker version might work better.

Nice lighting. Looks like an L.L. Bean ad.

Too common, staged

It seems to me that the coat on the far right has been cut off.
