a nice enough capture, but compositionally, it doesn't really blow me away. these shots are tough, and i appreciate your effort. i guess the thing that's sticking me is that it's not quite sharp enough for me to go "wow! you nailed it" or not quite blurry enough to consider it art (which, even though it would defeat the purpose of the challenge, would make for a cool shot). maybe a square crop would strengthen the image, so as to keep it from feeling like the subject is on the cusp of flying out of the frame.

i only have two nits with this image: 1) the place of the drink throws a shadow onto the plate, and 2) the visibility of the backdrop, especially where it hits the table. other than that, excellent work, especially given that this was shot and processed for a basic editing challenge. i'm faving it as an example of something i need to try. thanks!

sorry, but i gotta echo joe...the shots are killer, but the font totally robs it for me. it's too 60s-ish. it really needs something more stylish, that fits with the joyous elegance of the images. personally, i'd start with park avenue.

the lines slanting down create the incredible illusion that the horizon is tilted--but it's NOT! this is so cool!
