I really like the subject of this photo. One can really get lost in all those Christmas balls. Technically speaking, I think I would have cut off the bottom half to the photo since it seems a little bleached out, probably by the flash. The woman's head also seems a bit out of place, but maybe you wanted it to seem like one of the balls? Still I think the photo would have been just a little more interesting with less to look at. It is a good picture, none the less.

hi Katerina,
dazzling colours, and the girl seems to be completely burried in Christmas ornaments :) I think I'd crop from the bottom, the lower left corner feels a little overexposed, and I might sharpen the photo just a little, but those are minor points (I'll try a WS later to show what I mean, if you don't mind). I do like the overwhelming number of the repetitive patterns, that always make for a powerful image.

best,
Kristine

Hi Katerina,

a nice pattern, seen from the distance it´s like an abstract painting. I´d suggest a square formated upper part and to crop away the overexposed bottom.
Oh now I see, Avene had the same idea :)
Compliments, Chris

Hi Kate, I see you've found time to look in again. I think I prefer this one works as an abstract decorative piece, with a rather appropriate hint at the Vienese decorative school.
