Nice arrangement, colors, sharpness, and composition. A touch more saturation might help. Looks tasty, and hope it does well.

Nice elements, colors and shapes, good composition, focus, sharpness, and DOF. Maybe a touch more saturation would help.

French Onion Soup

Nice textures and shapes, sharpness, and pretty good composition and DOF - wish for just a touch more DOF. Angled tray would be better to reduce the rectilinear line on the left. Very nice image, hope it does well.

Beautiful colors and compostion, good sharpness, DOF, and clean background with faded out plate. Love it.

Creme Brulee With Strawberries

Best composition for the challenge in my opinion, an actual recipe! Nice elements, especially the flame, colors, arrangement, texture, DOF, and composition. Less background pattern, more saturation, and more sharpness would help. Tasty, and I hope that it takes a ribbon.

Monitor Stipeometer

Comment:
Nice combination of refraction and liquid (un)level standards that I almost missed. But the verticals and too-central composition is overwhelming, some additional background shapes and not-so-central composition would be better. Did you mean "Stripeometer," or how about "Tipometer" to make sure people didn't miss the liquid (un)level?

Backlit, Building, Reflection

Comment:
Nice color, interesting reflection, even like the vignetting. Wish there were more backlighting effect to fit the challenge or that it were the Shapes challenge, but I like it a lot.

Nice color, but some white levels would be better. Looks/feels overprocessed.

Nice idea, colors, and unwrapped variation. Less central and less regular would be better.

Beautiful and colorful. More DOF would be better in my opinion.
