o.k. I just have to ask the question...why did you leave inthe kids head? i'm thinking you wanted a drop of land for perspective, but it will get lower scores because of the half of a head.
Excellent focus, colors and stopped motion on this.

Congrats on a beautiful shot. The emotion is quite strong. My only negative comment, which no one mentioned, is that you have oversharpened this. I tried adding smart blur and despeckle and it helps. You should also tone down the contrast a touch and boost the brightness a little, too take the focus away from her hand. I know you won a ribbon and might ask why I am giving negative comments, but I think these slight changes would make it "perfect".

beautiful model..you probably wanted the softness, but I would have preferred if the focus was on her more than the hat(maybe a closer crop). Whites are a little blown out, and you could use a little more dark tones.

Absolutely beautiful, strong colors here. I like the abstract quality and composition.

A Good Mix

I love the color of the liquid and the orange. I don't like the light on the material below the glass-it gives to much attention to it. There is also too much going on on the left top of the glass. I would also try centering the glass or lining it up on the 2/3 line with the orange on the inside. This might balance the photo better.

interesting abstract...I would prefer a little sharper focus on the main subject, although I can see you intended it to be this way. The blueish color to the right of the flower is a little distracting. The colors don't match the challenge though.

Very nice composition. I would prefer a sharper focus on the top one. The yellows appear to be orange though.

for a shot like this you needed a much shorter DOF. My eye has nothing to stop at, it needs a main focus. Lighting is a little too strong.

cute shot..let me see if I can figure it out...picture taken of the jar first. Then jelly beans on glass over the picture? hmmmm...am I right?
Anyway, very original. would have liked the colors in the jar a drop brighter. I would have darkened the black also.
