Nice HC. The red may be a little much. I like the wings alot. Keep going with the new light system. I'm sure you will figure it out!

Excellent image. If the right hand was up by the left hand, the wing strap would be covered and I think the composition would be stronger. 8

selective colour = no. i'd like to see the subject looking more towards the camera

Interesting shot. The lips are too scarlet for me. Toned down might help.

Interesting interpretation but doesn't come close to reminding me of the song.

Fun high contrast. I wonder how this will be received by the typical DPCer. Good luck.

Clever idea - the angel is unconventional. The way the skin fades into the white background is almost ethereal - just like an angel should be. However, apart from the post-processing for red colour, the lips don't quite grab the viewer as much as I would like them to, to support the title of the shot. Still, well taken.

i think you should have softened the lips a bit more

I don't like the black in this image...it is too dominant over the feeling of the whole photograph.
