"Maybe I'll get some meat too...!"

ok - this is going to sound really negative, but I hope what I have to say will be taken in a constructive manner.

This image has the feel of a snap. the lighting is ... well frankly attrocious, there are unfortunate shadows behind the dog.

The fork is washed out in the highlights and feels out of focus.

The diagonal line of the table edge really just cuts the image in half for no good effect.

On the bright side theres a hell of a lot to improve on here, you really can learn a lot from analysing the negatives.

struggling to make the connection to hope, except in the title. Nothing in the image makes me feel hopeful, though I do like the reflections

meets the challenge, but what a dull subject matter. It really isn't going to win a ribbon is it?

getting close to breaking the 'artwork' rule, but at least there is some background on this.

Hope and Peace

the church leans to the left and the fact that the face is in shadow really lets the image down. Try taking the shot early morning or late evening when the light will pick out the details in the stonework
