Now that looks good! Even though I am a vegeatrian something about this makes me want to come to your house!
Composition is good and has all the key ingredients for a good feast. The food stands alone, but the extra festive decoration look cool and I love the way that it captures the light.
Technical
I like the selective DOF here, looks just right, detail is still shown in the background but the main point of interest, the foreground is emphasised. Lighting is absolutely perfect in this shot, a tiny bit of flare on the back plate but it doesn't effect the overall quality of the shot too much.
My opinion
Great shot! Hope that you had a great New Year! ( And more than just the one bottle of wine!)

Now this is beautiful! Perhaps it could have been rotated about 1 degree.

I love the hay and colour of the fields. Not sure that I really like the trees in the foreground.

Content-Composition
I am afraid the content of this is a little lost on me cause I haven't heard of the song. I like the composition of the picture, with the lines of the houses meeting each other. However the houses at the bottom seem to get a bit lost behind the trees, maybe a higher view point would have included more of the actual houses.
Background
Eyes are drawn to the backhround more than to the foreground, everything is nice and sharp so this helps.
Technical
Focus is good here, with both the foreground and background equally sharp. Colour saturation is good, perhaps a little more contrast would bring out the blue of the sky more and add a bit more green to the trees.
My opinion
Unfortunately I don't know the song, so I can't relate to the picture. On it's own, it is a nice picture but I think it needs a bit more interest. I wonder if more sharpening would add impact. Good Luck in the next challenge.

Chains around my heart

Excellent composition and idea. Think that this should have done much better! Feel that some dark red velvet would contrast nicely with the chains.

The use of colour for the border is great.
