Swiss' Potato

It's a circle, all right, but I think there are several elements "wrong", in my opinion: (1) focus is on the rear of the photo, but the perspective makes the eye want to wander to the front, (2) The second plate is a distraction, (3) the table cloth is not a particularly appealing color, (4) the coloration/presentation/angle of the food is not particularly appealing.

All in all, I get the feeling this is a snapshot of something on a table, but I feel like a photo of food should include some level of pre-composition: back the shot out to include more table, arrange some attractive elements around the plate (fork, cloth napkin, glass), etc.

Truly, I think this would have been a stunning shot if it was in better focus and/or had some USM. The thumbnail caught my attention, but unfortunately, the larger image reveals the focusing flaws. Great idea, you should work on this one until you perfect it.

Whew! Too close for me. Feel like I'm entering Mordor! On the serious side, I'm trying to figure out if I'm looking at something modified using Photoshop "art" filters - the either natural or induced "noise" detracts from the image, IMHO.

I would normally hate this kind of photo, but this blends fairly well, surprisingly. I kind of like it. It's not dizzying, and the off-center effect is great. 7

Took me a full minute to realize what I was looking at. My initial reaction (before I could figure out what it was) was "Wowwwwwwwwwwwww"... very warm and abstract. 8

Cool takeoff of the flag photos already on DPC. I'm interested to know what your background was. Very abstract and eye catching. 7

OK, I think the major problem I have with this photo is that the focal point is obscured by the reflections of the flash and several surrounding objects. If it were a clear sphere, the reflections might prove interesting, but since there's a compass in there, you have 2 major elements (reflections and compass) competeing for attention.
