I can see which one doesn't belong, but I can't tell what the substitute is exactly...

I like the top down angle of this.

strange collection... a girl on a bed with a chess game in disarray with an apple umbrella? lighting up a daffodil?
It has a Lewis Carrol feeling of oddity that somehow makes sense. I like how the hand with the lighter just pops out of the edge from nowhere.

reminds me of alice in wonderland

such an interesting concept ,very surreal because of the whole composition, like the chess board ? and an apple umbrella? hmm
but a clean shot and i quite like that i cant figure it out

i think so too...i cant remember why we did these pictures!

Hey, you asked me for some contructive criticism so I will give you just that!

Haha, the concept here is wonderful. I like how you used tungsten light along with daylight [although slightly cool]. On a concept level I think that the photograph is perfect, you carried out the intended mood and message properly. On the technical level, I think that there are a couple of things you can actually adjust and some things you will have to consider when shooting in the future.

First, the picture is slightly dull looking, and it doesn't look like you have full tonal range. I would suggest going into photoshop and playing with the curves to give the image a bit more kick. The main problem is the that when mixing two types of lighting, you're going to get two different colour temperatures that actually mix at the fade off parts and create their own colours. In this case, the dress [which I presume to be white] is a mix of purple/yellow and hints of blue. You should try to get it as close to white as possible, without compromising the warmth of the tungsten. Overall the image also has a lot of red in it. This is the part that can be changed after the image is taken to get it to look a little more pro.

Lastly, there are some things which you should consider when shooting in the future. I already mentioned the mixing of tungsten and lighting. In this case, you got kicked in the ass with Depth Of Field. The image would be ten times more effective if the hand with the lighter and the "weed" were in focus as well as the chess pieces. To achieve this, you would have to shoot at a smaller aperture, this looks like an f/8 or f/11. Try moving back slightly [you can always crop] and then using a tripod and going down to f/16 or f/22. It doesn't work in all situations, and it might be hard getting the hand to be steady. But yeah, in a studio you would increase the amount of light from the tungsten and daylight. Not everyone can do this, but you try and work Depth of Field as carefully as composition because it adds the third dimension which can either make or break your photo.

Hopefully that helped.
It's a great piece, and I think you should mess with it in Photoshop and resubmit it.
