This is quite simply extraordinary The drama you put into this composition is at a Vermeer level. Great work!

If photoshop is going to be used for the shadows, then the transitions should be smooth and not show the evidence of tool use (as is obvious on the right side at the horizon).

Picture perfect, a really beautiful photo with lots of mood and character! Congrats! -g-

I like the color and light a lot, but the dome at left front is a bit awkward in the composition (mixed feelings about it). I suspect that was necessary to best capture the main essence of the photo... the exquisite backlighting of the bells. Quite nice, and has a warm Xmas mood in a very good way. -g-

I have never seen anything quite like this. It is iconic and successfully marries organic to inorganic. Very well conceived and photographed... and my compliments to the willing model. :)
Congrats on POW... well deserved! -g-

I find the selection of the plant in the window (a cactus) to be interesting... perhaps an added subtle suggestion. Nice poetic/philosophic image.

Super cool photo... and I love the color! :)

Sensational photo... I really like the light and composition, very dramatic and authentic in feel. Nice work!

I like the original darker version of the image... more magic in the background shower and mystery in the profiles. Nice idea and composition.
