 The Honey Fountain

A photo of an idea my wife came up with, to have honey flowing like a fountain that looked thick & sticky.

The color toning was done in Adobe Light Room, and cropped.

This would have been absolutely stunning if you had used a bit more fill in light. It has a definite beauty that seems too hidden in the orangy cast of the image. I know that the image is supposed to be honey color, but it did cause a dulling of the great detail you captured in this.

people will say your white balance is off, but for me it just adds to the honey flavor, if you know what I mean. This might be the stickiest photo in the challenge. 8

Wonderful set-up here, but a soft glow over the image, makes it a little cloudy, for my eyes. I think your idea re the fountain with the honey flow, is just so excellent..... Well done.....

The dark lighting detracts from photo.

Nice shot -- subject, composition, lighting -- which needs white balance correction.

Image seems a little too warm. If there was more white in the fountain bowl and magnolia's I would of made the amber color in the honey stand out.

I like the warm colors in this, the plant seems a little distracting though, and the leaf had a damged part on it that doesn't fit. 4
