Intriguing, somehow (somewhat) suggesting shape of "the cloud". Well done!

Hoewever, I'd maybe (only maybe) prefer upright direction and mushroom shape of it.

good work, I like this shot but there are a couple of things I would maybe consider for next time.... I think it would be worthwhile, if possible, to use a woman's hand to hold the purfume. I know that the idea is that you are spraying the purfume to remind yourself of her.... in that case... clean your fingernails... it is quite distracting and takes something away from the shot (in my opinion of course). Now this is nit-pick I know, but do something about the hangnail too..... it is only really minor things but I think they make the difference between a good and a great shot.....
Good Luck, Todd.

So far my favorite of the challenge. Composition, lighting - excellent! Love the capture of the spray - I can almost feel the mist on my skin. I see a ribbon for this one. :-)

Taken a split second before and this would have been really cool.

good idea, some feminine hands and some clean nails may have improved the aesthetic appeal of this pic.

Quite an intriguing image, and with the title to give guidance, tells a simple story in itself. I am sure many of us understand how certain smells can remind us of certain people, and have used that to feel closer to loved ones when separated from them.

You could have cleaned the finger nail.

Great catch on the spray. Good composition. The only real detraction is the dirty thumbnail.

Good capture, nice warm light. Next time clean your fingernails first.

Nice motion capture. Lighting and timing this must have been quite a trick. I wish there had been some way to do it with only the bottle and the perfume cloud, no hand.

Fantastic. One of the few shots with bottles in that actually makes sense. Good work ;) (9)
