The talent of an amazing writer, they can convey any emotion, make you feel thing's you've never felt, and help you understand that which you thought you never would.
WHOA! Too bigg!!! If you're as clueless as me when it comes to all that technical computer stuff, resizing might be a challenge (although I doubt you'll completely crash the computer like I did when I tried uploading) but it would definately be worth it because it's hard to really see the pictures.

Hey, I'm Lizzy and I am a photographer. I hope my comments don't come across as too harsh (just trying to help you become a better photographer). I'm a little picky about perfection. OCD as I have been called.
They are great but I have a few comments....
#2) The angle of this one isn't great. #3) The way the ballet shoe ties are laying distracts from them a bit.
Other than that, these pictures are beautiful.
Thanks for your time! I hope my comments helped! dizzymisslizzy10
Bravery is not the absence of fear, but the will to conquer it knowingly.
Hi there! From my limited photography experience, I'm just going to let you know what I think.
1) I love this one. You've balanced out color and mood really well here. This one is my favorite. It is delicious to look at. I think that the best thing about this photo is that the ballet shoes look worn. (They obviously been used.) It makes me feel like there is a story behind them.
2) This one is probably my second favorite. The picture looks a little too bright, and the rose is crowding out the picture for me. Something about the angle in this picture is... distracting. I can't really put a finger on why. But the colors are still blended really well.
3) Another great one. Actually, now I am going to change my mind and call this one my second favorite. You've got the "story" element back in this picture. I could do without the ballet shoe (I think that is what is is?) at the bottom, though. I find it somewhat distracting.
4) I definitely see what you are trying to do here, but I find angles like that really hard to pull off. It seems like a cluttered picture to me. Keep trying new angles, though!
5)I like this one, but it doesn't draw me in like the first few did. And I can't think of much else to say here.
Overall, I think these are really good!

#1. I do love the idea, however, the focusing and lighting could do with work. And the placing it on the mirror didn't appeal me. #2. I love this, mainly due to the composition. A little tweaking with light and focusing on photoshop would make this a pretty awesome pic. #3. I have mixed feelings for this. I like the reflection, but the exposure on the actual object is weird. #4. I don't like this. The focusing isn't good and it doesn't strike me as 'wow.' #5. Awesome idea. My only problem is that, the lighting is weird and it looks like this pic was zoomed in and cropped.
That said, you have good photos and good potential. Keep clicking. ~Lava

These are awesome! My favorite was #3 I think...although they were all really cool.

Hey! I must say, I thought that the idea behind these photos were great, but the photos could do with a bit more work. However, I'm not a photographer so take what I say with a pinch of salt!
My favourite pictures were 3 and 4, they had a great use of the mirror and were really beautiful I think that for the others, I agree with previous reviews as to the fact that the angles were a bit awkward on some, and parts of the photo drew attention away from the main focus.
Altogether, I thought that these pictures were really good ideas, but could do with some different angles and slight re-adjustments.
Hope this helps!
