The composition could be improved if you cut down on the "empty space". There is too much white space that the strawberry is just swimming in it. You want to draw the eye directly to the main focus immediately so a closer zoom or crop showing the strawberry would have been better. Light sources from two sides top left diagonal and bottom right diagonal may have eliminated the deep shadow that detracts from the strawberry. Lastly, I would have chosen a better strawberry with a more vibrant green stem - the stem here is a flat dull green/brown that is a very unappealing compliment to the vibrant red of the strawberry.

Red Cannas Green Leaf

Colors fit the criteria however the colors of red and green are bathed in the harsh light of the early afternoon sun. A very late afternoon or early evening shot would have bathed the subjects in a "warm" light and brought out some warm rich tones not to mention possibly eliminate that shadow cast by the flower onto the green leaf.

Red and Green Vase

A solid deep black background and floor plane would have really made the colors pop off the page. As it is here the background and floor plane are a dull grey/black. A more complementary lighting set-up would have illuminated the colors better - I see a single light source shining from above that washes out some of the colors on the leaves causing too much glare and causing a deep shadow on the floor.

The Garden of Eden

Composition could have been improved if there was more red injected into the picture. The pose is just fine, that I would definately keep. But with the green apple you really needed to play up the complementary color of red and that could have been done with a red dress/shirt, red lipstick, and nails painted a deep red color -thus it would invoke not only the imagery associated with the eating of the apple at Eden but also the apple that Snow White ate (only with an inverse in color since the apple was red - different but still good to be a little different in approach since the color green symbolizes spring/fertility/renewal).

Beautiful composition. The subject, focus, lighting and colors are pretty much spot on and attract and hold the eye's attention. The only critique I have is that the crop could have been more on the flower leaving less space to the left and right.

Too much sheen on the yellow/orange hue here causes the eye to squint. The pendent with its floral blues is mostly lost in the folds of the cloth - the crop could have been closer such that the composition is 50/50. Given that the orange/yellow hues are bold and brilliant they tend to overpower the few blue hues seen in the pendant which are not as vibrant.

Blue on Orange

A nice aqua blue 'mum' flower on a bright orange bamboo mat attracts the eye. I like that this composition has some shapes represented in the lines of the bamboo. It adds some interest to this still life composition.

Beneath the Leaf

Natural colors of greens and reds to be found in nature if one just looks:-) Good find. Love how you composed the shot to make the underside of this leaf appear as if it is a fan.

Bold and vibrant oranges and blues on the clothing that really grabs the attention of the viewer. I like the play on the word "blue" when applied also to the feeling that the model is expressing with the downcast facial expression. There are three things that could improve this image. First the blue border detracts from the main focus which should be on the objects and colors within the composition. Second, a stark white or deep black background would have better suited the subject and made the colors contrast better. The dull white background with some unattractive "dents" in the wall surface do nothing to compliment the photo. Lastly a closer crop on the model from the waist up would have been better as that I think that their is a tad too much "empty space".

Nice bold and vibrant greens and reds on the pipes. Two things that detract from the image is that their is too much empty space - focus should have been more on those two pipes and perhaps the signs above them; a closer cropping would have improved the image. Second the ground plane of the dull and dirty gray is unappealing to the eye and the composition. Had you cropped the composition to eliminate the ground plane the black walls would have been the main background that makes those greens and reds "pop" off the page.
