I didn't sharpen this or change the colours and I think it looks very dreamy
I would love to float away on a moonbeam into the soft evening sky, relax and just drift.
I took it just as the sun was going down on supressed flash

Sweet image. Nice, gentle pastel colours fit well with the theme. It has dreamy feeling to it. Here are my suggestions: when using flash, in this case, it would have helped to diffuse it tiny bit to avoid the hot spots - the highlight areas with pure white that distract from the very soft feeling. The other thing, I would have pulled up the right string a bit more to tilt the moon making it into more pleaseing composition. Itsy bitsy sharpenning could help as well.

A nice concept but a soft focus would have worked much better for me in this shot. The clarity actually takes away from the dreamlike quality of the shot. Also, if you would have had the ribbons hanging from a star and against a darker backdrop I would have been tempted to score a 9 with this one.

Wow awesome setup for this shot. But the lighting is a little harse I think especially on the left side. But still very creative and well done!

very fun image. I see the use of a flash? did you try to take this with just natural light? I wonder if you might have gotten a little more depth out of the image that way. I still think it is a good take on the challenge. 7

The light is a bit harsh on this, but a fun idea! I like how you've used the lovely sky as a background.

good concept but too over exposed. you could have captured a dreamy feel with a gaussian blur layer over the shot.

A slight more contrast would have helped. I like the idea.

Quite a prop! Created just for the photo?

There's something very sinister about this, in a way. Looks like a tiny doll rather than a baby, but the doll is so lifelike that it seems out of place. This would be a bloody nightmare to me, methinks. But a good shot nevertheless. (8)

This is a beautiful shot, the lighting is great, I like the way you have the white accented against the sky, I like it
