I don't see why this got a 3.8. Under 5, yes, I can see that, but under 4 is harsh. The idea here is funny! The flash however gives a very harsh light, something to soften it up would defintely improve the photo. Hold a piece of white printpaper in front of it or something to soften it up. It can help! Also, a big towel or a bedsheet as a background would have a more solid and comfortable background. In this case, maybe a very bright one since it's very dark back there (maybe) COULD give some balance to it. The blue frame is a bit to blue. If you're using photoshop you could steal the dark blue colors from the pillow and add that as a canvas instead. I tried it, and it really worked! I also did a quick fix with Levels, only dragged the white one to get into the histogram, really helped. |

It doesn't really interest me plus why is it so dark? |

If you're going to use a "prop" as a subject, think about what the background will look like - here I find the cushions more interesting. The blue border is quite a good idea, but you need a border between it and the contents of the picture - another band of black? |

What a lovely picture! You'll probably be crucified by the voters though. Never mind, eh. |

Lighting is a little too plain. Pattern in pillows is a bit distracting. |

It would be better without the cushions. |
