 This was a lot of fun!! And work.

I predict 5.4, my husband says, "At least 6, or I don't know anything."

Basically, the shots were cropped, brightness/lightness adjusted, contrast, noise, etc. Then, added a border to all of them, and put them on a black background.

The other one I like a lot better -- the background is the lipsticks with the opacity turned way down in the background, with the other pictures onit. I was afraid it would violate border/artwork rule and more than three pics.

I am a MK Ind. Beauty Consultant, and those are all *my* lipsticks. Actually, they are "sampler/testers" that women can use on their hands to see if they like a shade. :)

6 - Good use of triptych to 'showcase'. Criticism; not much, difficult with the size restrictions anyway, but perhaps 'sharper' on all, more 'fore focus' in the lower left shot and slight contrast/lighting(?) adjustment in 3/right shot, may have made this better in my opinion. Good 'commercial' aspect.

Looks like an advert. All very clear and well taken. Good product shots.

Reurning for compliments in a very fine layout and professional ad-like composition.
One of my top 10 favorites in this challenge (8)

WOW. All I can say is QUALITY. Very, very nice, are you sure you didn't scan this from a 2-page ad in Vogue? ;-) Perfect lighting, color, exposure, etc. Cool, original idea for arranging the triptych. Nice variety of angles.

... so long as you're in the mood for red?
I could see this as an ad without much more work
good luck

Neat. Would work well for an ad. I find the out of focus lipstick in the front to be a bit bothersome, though.

This could be an advertisement for MK lipstick. I really like the placement of your pictures.

I would see this in a magazine as an ad. (That's a compliment I hope)

I like it. A good "advertising" theme. The colors and lighting are superb. 8

This is great. It looks like a professional advertisement photo. Great job. The lipsticks look 3-dimensional. I love it.

Looks like a make-up advertisement. Nicely done.

This would make a great ad. I wish all the lipsticks in the lower left panel were in focus.

Nice crisp, clear, colorful cosmetics.
Oh and creative too.
Well done.
Nearly forgot to mention clever!

Nice. Could be a sales postcard or mailer for Mary Kay! The only thing I don't like is the out of focus lip stick in the foreground of the open tubes of lipstick.

A great combination! Very well executed - nice photos, simple & elegant borders, perfect arrangement. Definitely and advertising-esque collection. Well done.

I love this, and I'm not even a girly-girl makeup kind of woman. :) Would be excellent as a poster in a department store, or something. Balance is good, I love the colors, all three images are well-done, and I like the focus in the bottom left frame. 10.
