Lovely shot and the light is perfect. One of the nicest flower shots I've seen in quite some time.

Play it Where it Lies

I like the reflections from the ball radiating outwards. I think it would be nicer with a solid black background and you need to be carefull with those highlights. You've blown them out completeley on a good chunk of the ball. In the future, expose for the highlights so you have detail there and then bring the shadows back in post processing. You can't bring highlights back because there is no detail to begin with.

Seems the eyes are a little soft and could be helped by some sharpening.

Curves

Comment:
This shot is simply fantastic. Its real soft yet high contrast at the same time. The heavy shadow gives it a sense of mystery and the curves are accentuated extemely well by the light. I wish it could fill the frame a little more but thats my only complaint. 9

The lighting here is definetly harsh making the subject a little bit flat and also making it lose a little color. You may consider experimenting with different crops. Maybe losing some off the top and right to put the lion off-center. The only other thing I may suggest(and I didn't notice right away) is cloning out the purple lens flare(or whatever its called) right along the bottom of the frame at the lions rear.

I like the angle that this was shot from a little more than your challenge entry but it has a lot more of his jacket when the real subject is his face and smile. With this shot the space above his right shoulder isn't doing anything. If you ever have a person or face on one side of the frame, always trying to have them looking across the frame to the other side instead of directly out of the frame. It just helps to connect the space in the frame. My only other small complaints are that his face seems a little red and it seems like it may have been sharpened a little too much.

What an excellent shot. I wish there was a little more light reflected onto her face but everything else is spot on. Background is awesome, pose is relaxed, editing works very well, and her expression is sweet. Good stuff.

Awesome! I was going through the top ten and thinking "When will I get to Elvi's". It didn't take long. Such an intense feel from such a pretty lady, a good combo. I'm going to hit you back on that pm soon its been forever and you probably haven't even thought about it but, I will respond. Great job as always.

Good job filling the frame. You've just barely kept some highlights blowing out. Overall nice portrait. 6

Almost a Mug Shot

Try to stay away from direct flash, especially when a wall or object is directly behind the suject. It creates that horrible outline shadow to the right. Instead try bouncing it off the ceiling
