Double Dipped

Beautifully done! So luscious I want to lick my screen! You've captured texture and colour beautifully and the background works surprisingly well. The droplet too is just the right length and shape. Composition, with the angle of the strawberry just so, is excellent. A really professional image.

Lovely image, excellently composed. Strong emotional impact - I can really feel the contemplation! Perfect for black and white.
Lighting seems harsh and is it post processing that's blown out the left side of her face, her elbow and finger tips or exposure during taking?

Good lighting. Clear on detail.

Composition is weak (to me) - the chips just don't balance the large chunk.
There are fingerprint marks on the chocolate.

Hooray! One of my top 2 in the challenge! Congratulations! One of the things I like about this image is how it conveys the theme without even needing a title. Whilst I am not one of those voters who ignores the title when voting and can understand in some challenges the need to use the title to explain the idea I really love when an image can convey the theme on its own.

I don't know what he's doing but it doesn't speak of Freedom to me although I do understand the way you're suggesting a fit via your title.

Not from the Critique Club though I did used to be in it so perhaps this will be of help?

Initial thoughts
Colour is lovely and strong, background is mostly a good bright white.

Composition/ Content
Content is interesting but it's not really obvious what one is looking at. The swirly paint "splat" doesn't seem to bear much relation to the neatly painted colour blocks inside the glass so it's not really clear that it's meant to be a spill of paint that was once in the glass. That said it's still interesting in a more abstract way.
Whilst I like the choice of a non-centred composition the choice here doesn't make for a particularly balanced frame to me. Perhaps having the "splat" further to the right might help? I'd also prefer the stem of the glass to be either more accurately vertical or tilted toward the top left corner.

Background
Mostly a good clean white but with some noisy grey smudges to the left side of the frame, both above and below the glass.

Technical
Focus on the glass seems OK though the stem seems a little soft. Exposure look good and colour is lovely and rich.

Fits The Challenge
How could it not?

My Opinion On The Photo
A nice image but not one that wows me or makes me want to look and look again. Partly because of the strange contradiction of neat painting inside the glass and very messy "splat". The splat also looks too artificial. Also partly because the composition just doesn't strike me as very balanced.
