Very beautiful. The photo is so gorgeous!
Bootcamp CC:
colors harmonious, gallery presence good, upload size good, link good, keyword with dsp number missing, the cluster is great, but the shadows are maybe a tiny bit too large.
My personal opinion is that the wordart is a bit too small and so loosing it's beauty. Also the journaling is larger than the wordart and that is a bit unbalanced. Also the paper with the journaling is almost aligned with the paper to the left, but not completely and that is not so pleasing to the eye. Maybe moving it more up would make it more balanced. Also if you look at your thumbnail, you can see that moving your whole cluster down a bit would make the layout more balanced. But these are details to think about in the future. You did great on all the requirements for this round. Beautiful and well done.

Very beautiful! Love the layers and the photo is awesome!
Boot Camp Critique:
Gallery Presence - Good
Credits, keywords, store links - keyword link missing. Also, in a DET contest layout, you would probably not want to put anything but the product keywords in this field.
Posted layout (not too big, not too small, good resolution) -Perfect!
Composition - Rule of thirds, visual triangles, alignment, balance - very nice
Color and Contrast - layout not too bright, elements that pop - good
Negative space - if used, used well - good
Realism - layers and drop shadows look realistic - Shadows are bit too dark/deep - try lightening the opacity and keep them a little closer to your layers.
Creative use of elements and groupings - Good - I would shy away from more than one fancy font (like you have in the title) - a good rule of thumb is one fancy and/or no more than 2, different, plain serif fonts on a layout (and always different sizes like you have here, if they are different, so as not to compete with each other). And that includes fonts used in Word Art.
Borders, frames, mattes - if used, enhance the layout or photo - Nice framing of the layout
Recoloring, resizing, photos or custom shapes - all appropriate/no distortion - good
Good match of photo to kit - good

Gorgeous photo, V-dub. I like the continuity from your pic to your LO. Very sophisticated, yet comfortable. A beautiful and interesting page to view.
