I like the choice of b/w, it keeps the repetition of the straps of her shoes and of her bracelets prominent, and the polish keeps you within the theme. Very nice composition. And nice model for letting you take a shot of her feet! :)
Although this is a very nice shot overall, very attractive, and I agree that nail polish constitutes a 'liquid', the focus seems to be "pretty woman's foot and shoe", and not "liquid", so in terms of a challenge entry it loses a bit. I do like the use of tone in this quite a lot.
Most definitely one of my favorite subject matters. The light reflections off the bracelets and the sandal straps emphrasizes the liquidity of the polish.
Personal note, great model.
I like the tones and the contrast here, but wish this was one of those shots that showed only one color (of the nail polish) and the rest was as is. Still, very well done.
I think this photo would have worked better if you could actually see the liquid. I get what you were going for, but the liquid's not very prominent. As a general study, I like the composition, and the contrast of the bracelets with the shoe straps is a nice touch. Might want to check border widths, doesn't look even to me.
I really like this. You've set a very nice definition of femininity in this photo. And the bracelet complementing the shoe adds a nice touch to the composition. High marks for you. =)
Great idea, but angle somehow doesn't work for me. Maybe better to have the toes in the foreground? Also, more an additional back light would have added drama.
Very nice photo, and I like your use of DOF. But, I think the toes and polish should be in sharper focus, and the foot, shoe, and hand should be what is blurred. Still, it is a nice entry as is.
Nice idea and composition but I think the polish should be in focus. Also there is something white and whispy underneath the shoe, hair? still a good shot though
The emphasis of this image is not placed on the nail polish. We can't even see the polish. I think the main focus is on the straps of the bracelet and the shoe. It's a nice picture but it doesn't really fit well into the liquid challenge. Sorry.
