Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge.. The black background of the image is a perfect match to the skin tone . The makeup in gold is a perfect contrast and beautifully applied. not only upon her face but her fingertips as well.. The orange scarf is also very pleasing upon the eye and a point worth mentioning. The fact that her eyes are closed allows us to further peruse the makeup in detail . Unfortunately, the closed eyes- the windows to the soul- are unreadable and so leaves us pondering to her thought processes Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank yu for entering my challenge. The eyes of the labrador pup tend to draw the viewer in as they are a stark contrast against his black fur and black background. There is a lot to be said about the eyes and one can normally read into the soul , in this case a loving and longing look.. The beautiful coat with the different tones and shades of black is also a point worth mentioning. Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The colour red as used in this image is the perfect choice in order to captivate the viewer's attention to the apple concerned. The black background is a wise choice and contrasts well against the bright red apple. The crop is also unusual but works perfectly in said circumstances.. Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. A very creative and thought provoking image. The juice of the grapes falling into the wine glass is a nouvel idea and very innovative in nature. The low key feel and idea of "less is more' is used to perfection. Congratulations and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The bright red lipstick draws the viewers attention in so as to peruse the image further. The red lipstick contrasts well with the black background. The added droplets of water also serve as a point of interest and worthy of mention giving the image a unique and creative feel. Congratulations and well done!
