Lower the exposure. Change position to block the lights on the right. Soften the focus. Compose/crop out the cranes.

There is something about it that bugs me. There is a halo around the fence. I can't decide if I like the flare. Sometimes it works. Then there is that little red spot just below the middle rail.

I don't like the colors especially in the faces of the musicians. Some artifacting in the jeans.

Crop the bottom 20% and it would be perfect.

This is one of the few images in these two challenges that I think a stroke/border works for. Nice image. The colors seem to be weighted to the right side. Switch the spatula with the yellow pepper & tomatoes. My eye keeps going to the yellow...

The details of the rice are too soft. I don't like how the placemat and chop sticks are unsharp. Use a little wider DOF.

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? The lines on the table are a bit distracting, however the one under the spoon has a nice shadow effect going for it. More texture under the bowl or less? I can't decide. I like that the bowl is slightly off-center and out-of-frame with the diagonal pointing spoon.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes. The whole image is nicely sharp.

Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes and no. I love the shadows, but the reflection in the bowl gives me fits. "I like it. It's too much." The handle of the spoon is blown out though so I ultimately have to go with soften the light a little.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? A well done shot. I keep looking into the reflection in the spoon and begin to daydream. Good work.
