What kind of review is this ? One line and one star. This is more an insult than a review.

reply by cheecharella on 17-Jan-2014

I agree. This was my fault for having left the site up on my laptop. Please see the updated review. I would never submit a 1 star review. If I don't feel moved by a work in a positive way, I simply skip it. Besides this is a lovely image. Plz see my review history and you'll see my pattern is in accord to my above statement. This will be used as a teachable moment for teacher and student, I assure you! Sorry again.

No problem. Do you actually say that it was one of your students doing the first review ? If yes, did this person do others as well ? The reason for asking is that some of your reviews are quite extensive, while others are just a line or two. I still don't think you have given this photo a proper review, because when you give out less than 5 you are meant to tell the artist what you think is wrong, and also give suggestions for improvement.

No this is it, and yes some are longer than others as I do think it's appropriate to give a really attentive review if time allows (which I wish it did now!) so regarding yours, I was told and saw and handled asap... more later, Peace n smiles!

You put a lovely touch (special effects) on this newborn photo, very sweet and lovingly done. It is balanced with a sense of harmony.

Comment from donkeyoatey
I do like the composition a lot, and although the shot has some grain, in this picture it looks right, rather than detracts. I do like the softening of the edges, and the addition of the flowers. I do think a bit of the blue added into the flowers at the lower left would create more flow. It is creative, sweet and just a great contest entry. Donkeyoatey

What a beautiful baby boy. I sure like low you framed this with the flowers on the bottom of the frame (being sure to cover his privates) and the frosted -like etching used for the rest of the frame. Very creative and original. Very beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.

Nice capture of a new born. Beautifully centered amid the flowers and soft frame. Colours are nice and soft, suitable for a boy
