 First submission with my new AF-S 50 f/1.4G lens. I really like this lens so far. The glass in the shot is a table top off of a table in my parent's back yard. It was pretty dirty so I cleaned it up then said to my sister, " hey, come hold this for a sec". Snapped a few shots and this was the one I liked best. I shot, edited, and submitted this on the last day of the challenge so I'm sure my hurried process will net me an average or below average score. I really just wanted to use my new lens. But as usual, I like the image and that's what really matters to me. :-)

Heh, love that textured glass. I like the effect the glass has on the shape and colours behind.

A very nice shot. My only nit is about the expression on the model's face. It would be nicer if it was a bit more sad. I hope this will ribbon. 9

Last time I saw one like this it came in very close to the top of the challenge. I'm expecting that for this entry as well.

Done wonderfully. 8.

If, the expression on the model would have been a bit more involved, it would have been a perfect 10 for me.

Good Shot!
