Hi Wendy. You got an original shot for the color challenge here, I don't have that kind of imagination! Is this all your lipstick?

You've set this one up well. Contrary to what has been commented below I think the white background works well. I don't think a black background would have brought those colors out as vividly as here. The DOF also works. I like the way the lips sticks dissolve into bluriness in the blackground, awesome effect. The colors are good, the composition also, you've left enough breathing space at the front :-)

The border is a bit exaggerated though. I think the red clashes too much with the image colors. I find a neutral color or black may have been better here. Also it is a little disturbing (for me anyway, but then again I always look for little small things, he he) that the lipsticks are not parallel and evenly distanced.

But overall, a very good image which I liked immediately.

Happy Easter.

Gary

Nice idea. However, the white background makes it a little to severe.

I like this photo very much, the colors stand out as the main subject and the lighting is excellent!

Great symmetry and balance. Not overstated. Placement and exposure is excellent. One of my favorites.

Cool lipstick, do you actually use those, lol... Nice setup, well done, the only critique I would have would be with the choice of red for the line border, I think black would have worked better.

Oohh brand new and never been used. Too bad I'm too old to get away with using such colours ;-) The only thing I don't like is the glitter on the case. It's distracting. But you can't really do anything about that.

Seems a bit OVERbrightened - don't mind me, though. My comments today look like "too dark, too dark, too bright, too dark." Maybe it's just me! :)

Good luck - it's a great shot.

Good job...good idea maybe a different background if you shoot this again. Light is bouncing on the white a bit. Nice work, good composition.

would like to see all the edges to be the same angle... original idea.
