My first attempt at light painting. Used a small flash light and about 30 exposures. The lip print is from a stamp I purchased at a craft store.

Not a lot of PP.

I don't understand the smudges on TEXAS. Maybe if you smudged it on more letters and it didn't blend into the background, the effect would work better. Otherwise, I love this. 8 (p.s. those lips are too small!)

Very nice shot, can't go wrong with this one. Love the little lips on the rose, bumping to 9.

This is the first flower shot I've seen that really looks like a postcard. This is very creative. Good luck!

Cute, but your 'Texas' looks like it lost a fight.

This is WONDERFUL! Perfect! And that's coming from a member of an old Texas family. I hope you get a ribbon.

Not sure what happened with your Texas text? Great rose shot though.

Lipstick is a tad hokey, but I like the shot, border and choice of fonts. Score: 8.

I like this! Very creative. Something I could send my boyfriend if I was in Texas...which I think is what you were going with! LOVE IT! 9
