Very busy and confusing. I think you needed to pare down the number of elements you wanted to get into this photo. The impact is just not there when there are so many things to look at, and the composition doesn't really make any one object the subject.

Crude... you could have made a much better photo out of an idea like this :P. Try a white background next time.

Before and After the Big Bite

A very rich photo, nicely lit and composed. It doesn't grab me, but I can appreciate its technical merit. I can't fault it in that respect.

Bloomin'

Cool! I love the way you use shallow DOF. The flower that lost its petals is the subject, and the flower in the background is kind of a visual echo of what it used to be. I like how they nearly line up, making the effect more pronounced. I'm giving this 10.

Windows and Mirrors

Interesting.... I guess the reflected building shows the way a business starts out small and grows over time to become the big, shiny building. Very subtle and well composed. I like the grainy black and white. This is kind of a philosophical, thoughtful photo.

Popcorn

Simple and pretty. I'm sure a lot of people don't like your background, but I like it. The gradient is pleasant, and shows off the fluffiness of the popped piece of pop corn against the dark blue, while the kernel looks nice on white. The shadows are a little strong though.

Dark Roast

I like the ring of beans, it looks nice against the white background. Unfortunately, the side of the coffee mug is indistinct from the background on the left side, which is kind of distracting. Also, the coffee itself, in the mug, has an odd tint to it... but from my time in the US I associate weak coffee with Starbucks, so I guess that might be why :P.

From Fruit to Juice

Luscious and tangy. I think this photo strikes the right balance. It's loaded with content and things to look at, but the composition ties it together, particularly with that bright pink circle of grapefruit flesh and green leaf. Nicely done.

Nice idea. I think the lighting is a bit harsh. The colours are really bright and bold, but the shiny spots and dark shadow make them seem a bit overpowering.

Self Portrait

I love it! Momento Mori at its most gritty. I'm a bit indecisive about the way both "heads" are cut off at a slant at the top. It seems like both are wearing berets or something! It's kind of distracting, but maybe in a good way? Love the lighting and deep black tones. The skull glows out of the darkness.
