Cooking Light

The top of the plate is well lit. Some fill lighting is needed to light the underside of the plate, in my opinion. I think it would have added some more color which contrasts very nicely with the noodles.

The meal looks scrumptious! Great Job!

I honestly thought this shot would finish in the top ten! It was one of the strongest of the challenge...where the parallel lines were not the subject of the shot, but strengthened it!

Your composition is good.
The overall focus is poor, even though your tried to focus in on the parallel lines.
I would like to see the focus reversed here (on the deer) since you call attention to beauty in your title.
The picture could be bigger overall.
Misspelled title, probably a typo you didn't catch before submittal.

I voted this low and here are my reasons:

Bad points:

The strength of the photo is the leading lines of the stars to the heart shaped jewelry. These are not parallel, they are an array.

The subject is rather uninteresting. I can see you may be practicing jewelry photography, in which case the background should be brighter, maybe white, and the subject should be spotlighted IMO.

Good Points:

Patriotism +1
The lighting is even.
Sharpness and clarity are good.

In my opinion, there is too much white space. Filling the frame with the pencil points at the right edge would have been better.
