One of the more original and unique photos I've seen in a while.
Simply stunning! |

| I would have liked it better without Apollo. The paper is gorgeous in that light. Just my 2ΒΆ worth... |

| i think i would have voted your entry higher had i seen it presented in lighting like the prop photo. i gave you a 5, because i, too, thought it was one of those fold out crepe thingies you get a party stores, so just like i would likely vote most statues or pictures of other crafty objects in other challenges, i thought it was sort of ho-hum. i felt you met the challenge because even though it may have been a crepe thing, it was still paper, which is all stationery in my book. it's a gorgeous work of art made with paper... i have a new respect for it now, but... and this is just my little ol' opinion, i wasn't a fan of the lighting or the composition... so with all of those things, that's why i gave you a 5. |

I'm thinking the low scores come from those who didn't make the connection to stationery. I didn't vote this challenge; but upon opening this image, my first thought was that it was a well lit shot of something you purchased.
After reading about your set-up, I'm completely impressed. It seems apparent that you are the victim of "too much creativity". Hopefully this talent is more rewarding than a few votes from strangers on the internet. I see a definite trend in well thought out and unique images in your portfolio.
Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

| I didn't get to this one in voting, but I'm really impressed. It has an almost palpable glow to it. I would've picked it as paper art as the Japanese do something similar. |

Unfortunately I didn't get the time to come back to this and comment before end of voting. However, I did score this an 8. It's beautiful. I can easily see the amount of time and effort you've put into it and IMHO, has paid off for you. What I find hard to understand are the dnmcs.
In light of the comments, I'd have to say that those folk probably didn't spend a heck of a lot of time looking at this image. A quick glance most likely gave an impression of party decorations, and so, they were unable to reconcile the arrangement with actual stationery...? Who knows. I'm just thinking out loud here anyway :)
Both yours and Tim's work are truly inspiring. Congratulations on your tremendous finish in the challenge! Best wishes to you both.

| i'm no expert but i think this picture shows a lot of thought and creativity, it -to me-has good color-lighting and composition, which makes it a good picture. i personally don't think you should judge any of your pictures by the scores they receive here-i think you should judge them by how they make you feel,if you are happy with them then that is all that is necessary. the only other thing that would be important is if you were shooting this for someone else-then they would need to like it for you to have done a good job. too many people on this website are self proclaimed experts and judge pics by their standards of either limited or vast knowledge and many wouldn't really know a good shot if it hit them in the head.keep shooting what you like that is what is important. |

First photo to make me go "wow!"
But I have to admit, I don't see this as stationery, which should at least have something to do with writing or communicating. It's not "anything made of paper." At least, not to me. |

| Great idea and execution! The colors are just so alive and vibrant. INTENSE! This should ribbon right underneath a certain other shot. Great job Woman!!! Dont let anyone else tell you otherwise - and if they do and you find out who it is I will take care of them for you. |

| Are those curled post-it notes? Very impressive. I almost put this down as DNMC just because I didn't 'see'. Overall a lovely picture - I'd have given you a decent score even if it was DNMC. My only complaint is the slight blowout peeping out on the left of your sun. I assume this is your light-source. Would have been great to cover that. |

A lot of effort went in to this. It's the kind of thing my teacher wife would do!
I think the image would be stronger if the Apollo was approaching the sun from the left rather than leaving the sun to the right, but that's just me. |
