I have to comment on this. It's so clean and uncomplicated. Good job with the colors and exposure. Personally, it has been sharpened too much for my taste, but that doesn't take away form an excellent image.

Wow. Thanks.
Looks nice, but you might want to use a reflective surface over on the right to to bring out that side just a bit? Just enough to be able to separate it from the background. I really like your guy better than mine!

The cocoa looks yummy and the exposure is perfect.
A more elegant solution would have been to have the gloves and coat hanging over a chair or at least having the gloves on the table beside the mug. It looks awkward with her holding the cookie, like it might cause her to spill the hot chocolate at any moment. Do you think there is too much black space between the scarf and the mug?

Sunrise did not diminish the burning smell of fuel, metal and flesh...

I worked on a burn ward and you are right, it has it's own smell that is hard to forget. I wish you had been able to zoom into the scene so I could see more of what is going on. It's too vague as it is now. There's no context other than the man.

Chocolate Chip Cookies. . . . fresh out of the oven.

Good detail and I like the blue plate. I don't like the black background. White or tan would have given it a more homey feel.

Just like an ad. Like the misty look you created. Lot's of direct competition for this type of shot. I can see a 5 way tie.

And you think I smell bad!

Funny. Very good detail and perfect focus with just the right amount of dof. Sorta ugly looking, but cute at the same time. Only thing that could be added to this is a cr****. Sorry. I had to say that. Hope you're not a kid.

Coffee in the Morning

A very good attempt. You angled your lights down so the shadows don't show much, your didn't get any real bad highlights on the metal or glass, you used a decent background cover. All of this shows that you are interesting in doing more than an adequate job. Now, work on your composition a little and you should do really well.
If I was taking this, I would move the items away from the background. With a lifestyle picture, it would be ok to see the wall as long as it's not something really dirty or cracked or something. I'd put the coffee and the pot to one side and the cup with a saucer on the other and the spoon on the saucer. You want it to look natural, but perfect. Try it with to camera angled down on the scene also.
