onion

Simple and effective. The reflection of the back wall adds enough light to separate the onion from the background. One of the images in the challenge where the second light source does not make the image worse. Good. The more I look at it the more I like it.

Taking such a busy object and then two strong light sources almost from opposite directions does not make it very attractive in my view. Far too many highlights and shadows creating confusing shapes. A nice soft light from one side and a very subtle reflection from the other side or the front would have worked much better.

Nice simple scene and soft light, still with enough shadow. The tint underneath the bench is rather cool (i.e. too blue, too cold)

Nice simple approach but the second light source actually makes the image worse in my view. Two strong light sources from opposite directions hardly ever works to make attractive shapes.

What happened to the eye? Too much dodging in post processing? I would have expected the head of the horse to be in focus. Focus is now on the trees. Not a very attractive image to me.

Very special cactus with nice colours. The second light source is hard to detect, probably only fills in the shadows? That is not a bad point, in many images the second light source makes it worse, here it does not.

I like the metal look and the depth of the image.

The main light is extremely soft with almost no shadows, it makes the whole scene very flat. The candle feels out of place. It does not really contribute to the lighting of the scene and jumps out because of the different colour temperature.

Nice simple still life with lovely soft colours. I find it quite busy though, both in background and in the reflections. It could also do with a bit of rotation counter clockwise (the background looks fine now but the vase is tilted)

Lovely collection of items and nice subdued colours. I think the light source from the left could have been much softer. Especially on the lower left egg this is visible. The shadow is in the middle of the egg, which looks strange.
