Avocado-salad

Interesting color play! Everything looks to be in good focus, I like the clearish bowl allowing the background in beneath. I do like the idea behind the background too, but with the low light it doesn't set the salad off as much as a different bkgrnd might. I do like the way the lavender/purple inner border ties the photo together. 7

Coffee Can Bread
by Dave Gordon

Comment:
How different! I've never heard of coffee can bread. I like the lighting and the color is nice and neutral which plays well with the light. I like that you chose to have the picture framed by the oven - completes the image nicely. My only real change would be to crop or center it so that that little bit of can wasn't cut off. Excellent job! 8

Dessert

Great profusion of color. Seems a bit over-sized for the plate, but that could be the perspective. I like the presentation and the lighting. Focus appears to be good. 7

Camembert-potato casserole
by johnmk

Comment:
Love to see what it looks like done! Nice color contrasts, I like the fact that this is taken in process rather than after - it gives the image more energy, more of a story. The lighting works well and the important areas look to be in focus. I am distracted by the red border - I find it pulls my eyes away instead of inward. 7

Strawberry peaches and cream rainbow tarts
by neenee1999

Comment:
Looks decadent! The background detracts from the composition to me, and the image has a harsh edge to it to me, like its been too contrasted or over-sharpened? I like the presentation of the image - very balanced and well thought out. 5

Fluffy Lemon Cup & Spicy Pumpkin Bread
by jab119

Comment:
Yum! Great color, the lighting is good too. I like the fact that the lemon cup is mostly in focus, but as a personal preference since the bread is an important aspect, I would've liked the bread to be sharper as well - the focus over there seems to be on the powdered sugar bits on the table 6

Sinfully Good Deviled Eggs
by kostia

Comment:
I do love deviled eggs! The color contrasts are very nice, I do wish the focus extended to all of the eggs. Its a solid image but I find myself looking for an additional piece to the composition to add more depth - I'm not sure what, a prop of some sort maybe? 6

Great colors, nicely focused. The bread looks quite appetizing. Lighting looks good as well. 8

My Tattoo revealed....
by WILDBLUE

Comment:
Fits the challenge, but I find the image a little flat. The hand in the bottom left corner detracts. I think the black, flesh, black look would've been great, but the tattoo is a tad bit unsharp to me - it being the focus of the photo I think it should really pop or be crisp. The colors of the tattoo are great though, contrast well with the surrounding flesh & black colors. 4

Southern Exposure

Comment:
This is a nice landscape, the color spectrum is intriguing. I did find it a bit washed out though - not as vivid as I would've preferred/expected. The branches in the foreground detracts some as well. 5
