good bokeh, but subject is not the most exciting - well composed

not sure where the focus is - on the lower part of the main bud ? A bigger DOF would've improved it, giving you more of that bud in focus, but nice try.

Give Her Beaded Elegance in Turquoise

I think this is an excellent portrait. I'm not so sure about being an Ad though. Some of the earring is covered by her hair and without seeing the entire piece of jewelry, I probably would not be interested in buying it.
Focus and clarity are very good. Very nice eyes, and detail in the earring.
The lighting is uneven. There are some patches which are bright and there are also shadows. That doesn't destroy the photo, but it is noticable.
I like how the color of the shirt and earring is similar. It doesn't distract, but I think it adds to the photo. The background is nice. blurred green, nothing distracting there.
Again, this is a really good portrait, but in my opinion, not as good of an ad.

Contrast could be a little better. The comp could probably have cropped out the very tips of the top or have been taken longways with that same principle.

Greetings,
What a nice capture of the eagle, excellent detail and DOF in this image, the tight crop does make me wonder why though??? But still and awesome image.

Thai Paper, Rocks!

General: My first impression is of the colour and texture displayed in your image. Also, the separation between each piece of paper make nice leading lines.

Composition: The placement of the lightest coloured paper seems a bit to central and makes the image feel a bit out of balance. Three pieces of paper may have worked better (blue, red, gold). Also, since the separation lines are vertical the image may have worked better with a vertical composition to emphasize these lines.

Exposure: The exposure on the blue and red paper seems right however on the others there seems to be too much glare therefore reducing the contrast between the gold leaf and the paper itself. A different shooting angle may have improved this.

Impact: The vibrant colours of the paper is what brings the impact to this image however the lightest colour paper feels out of place as it draws the viewers attention from the others. The lightest colour in a field of darker colours will always draw the viewers attention.

Keep shooting.
