		| | Agree with Joe. This placed well as it should have but should've placed higher in the ranks. |

		| | This should have placed higher... artistically, this is wonderful... the simple, direct composition works all-too-well. 21st place is very commendable, but in my opinion this deserved top-5 status. |

		| | that's so cool - technically, according to the title, I'm not supposed to like it - but the two themes mixed in this is striking and very unexpected - love the lighting and the desat 
 9 for now

		| | Love it all. The title is great, the flower standing out from the desat, and of course, that chest is ....well...ehem...nevermind but let's just say it's a 9! |

		| | One would expect a warm reception for flower & "vase."  A most alluring concept. |

		| | I like the concept and the contrasts you achieved. Color vs B/W, Female (flower) vs Male (Torso), Smooth and silky vs rough and hairy....  Great job!! Good luck!! |
