I think this is a really awesome shot. A good print even. I get your idea and I think it does fit the challenge, but if I was running an ad campaign for Texas tourism, I don't think I would pick this. The composition is great. Still a good score, just could be higher. :-)

I like your idea and set up here. The little fruit twist in the glass is a nice touch. Maybe you meant to, but I think the bottle and glass seem tilted to the left. Sometimes that works, but in this case I think it might be better straightened out.

I think you've captured a great moment. I really like the composition. I have to agree with the majority about the blue thing though. I think I understand the "feel" you're going for, but I'd like to see it natural. It might then look like another animal shot, but I think a great animal shot is...a great animal shot. :-)

Simple and to the point! hehehe
The shadow definetely adds a lot of interest to the shot. Borders always rouse great debates on the site, but I think your border really makes this shot work. The shot is good, but I wonder if it could be better if pin was on left?

Cheesy and Crunchy - Orange on Blue

I have to agree with everybody pretty much. The curved plate is awesome. Very nice lines. I think it was very creative use of cheetohs. The cheetohs and the table cloth have very nice texture. The whole shot I think has a nice "feel" between the textures and colors. I like the composition. Only improvement I can see, and it is minor, is a little bit of adjustment to the lighting. It seems just a wee bit bright coming in on bottom left. It is not very distracting at all, just a thought. Maybe a little editing could do it. It is a nice shot overall. Very pleasing to the eye.

I think this would be much stronger if it showed the actual flame.

Good picture and good subject. I'm gonna assume the grain is purposeful to give it a "paper" feel. I like the composition. I might try cropping the top down some, and maybe just a wee bit off the left, but not enough to lose the "thirds".

seems like very bright harsh lighting. maybe shooting this at a different time of day would be better.
