Curve and light is so great here.

This looks like sand dunes or something more exotic than a sculpture. Fantastic!

I love the lines but wanted to know what it was of, or if there was a lot of manipulation. After seeing the sculpture I have to say that your picture is better than the actual subject. Amazing.

clever

Great one! Got me addicted.

Rhey try to make cigarettes glamorous and healthy with pretty woman and handsome strong men a smok'n... Well this makes smoking look wise, even humble! Of course tobacco is very important and sacred in some cultures. I'd like to see this in BW... :)

I think the colors make it special. I tried BW and it didn't look good to me at all. But thank you for your nice words!

I love the look of serenity on this man's face. What a wonderful and interesting portrait.

I like it, and think it's a very interesting subject. I would never have thought of doing something like this.

But I do agree with uncommondepth about the background. The white from the marshmallow blends in with the white background too much. I might have used the burn tool in photoshop on the edeges of the marshmallow to make it pop a bit. I'm not very good at this criticism thing yet, so I hope I offered something decent.

wow. breathtaking one! for me it's perfect.

I think this is a great shot for what it is, however I agree with uncommondepth, It has nothing to draw my interest to it, Maybe adding a child's hand or something would cure that. :0)

well all i can say is YUMMM!!! This shot makes me reach for a sugar fix! I think you did really well to capture the moment of impact.

I like it! Makes me want to eat a Schaumkuss right now :)
Can you tell us more about how you did it?

Nice find! I love color field abstraction in photography.

wow, i chose this one so many times, congrats for the well deserved feature.

Thank you so very much, methan (and lbstone, too, of course!)

I love it, but a quick touch up in PS could have the lines truly vertical which would make it not so infuriatingly distracting

very pleasing lines & color

5 stars. Excelente photo. Sharpness and colours are perfect. Congratulations

Many thanks!

magnific..all is perfect

hmm i like the composition and the colourcontrasts between blue and yellow.

:)

Great simple shot.
Warhol would be proud.

Thanks!

The image has a 3D quality to it that I like. The image is sharp, but with the contrasting colors & the double shadow, it tricks the eyes & looks blurry at a quick glance and then jumps into focus. I like this composition.

again, beautiful shapes, colors and balance

This is really lovely.

Thanks!

For me it's just: boring. There's no excitement, nothing special, just two roses. Sorry...

veronicalynne,

thanks for the comment!
Glad that you liked it.

JENRIKS,
No worries.
To each his own opinion.
I like the shot you don't no biggie!
That's why i post them here to see why its not that exciting to others!

Well done Mike. It doesn't excite me because DOF or because DUO. What excites me so much it's that piece of building in the background. No matter what it is. It gives third dimension to the photo: Flowers, Building, Sky. That the reason I love it

I agree with Jenriks. I looked at your other images and feel you are a better shooter then this image.

chefron,
I can understand where you are coming from!

ikol22,
Different from your typical flower shot, thus the reason for posting!

Thanks for the critiques.

Thank you very much Alex and Anna. Not loving to insert same image on Vazaar, THIS is the link of same image where I tried to erase off the eyeglass arm.

I like this ..I like the style and the way the eyes stand out. I like the creativeness of this.. and agreed also with the statements above .. it took me a minute to know what it was but then again things like that can be fun and intriguing in a shot too,overall it is creative and imaginative ..something I love to see!

Thank you Lindy. You're flattering me :-) -- Anyway words like yours really helps and encourages. Thank you very much !

Way too bright for my taste! There's too little details in it.

jenriks, follow a definition of "High way": ""High key subjects concentrate on the lighter tones, using subject matter that is white or pale tones, and using flat overall lighting to avoid shadows"" (photography.about.com/library/glossary/bldef_highk...)

It's too dark and i don't really see the "vintage" thing in your editing. Sorry.

interesting landscape! (perhaps because of the "darkness" - I like this light!)

thanks for your comments

I think its a little flat, the clouds don't enough character for the scenery to stand out.
