Very nice. Composition and lighting are good. I think you might get dinged a bit for those jaggy edges I'm seeing.

The background is too distracting for me. Next time tell that dude who got in your shot to move away and stop distracting the cheese. :P

Nice composition. The tonal range is perfect. My only nitpick is that rouge bean on the left border. :)

I like this. The lighting really draws you in.

What I think could have made this better would be a tighter crop and a wider DOF. The sugar pile is the main issue for me really. I would have preferred that to be in focus and as sharp as everything else. Good image though. Good luck!

Devil's Playing Cards

Greetings from the Critique Club...

I like the idea and the execution came out very well. The lighting is well done and the composition works. I also like the red contrasted against the black, which is very devilish in nature. So really there's nothing technically wrong here.

My only suggestion would be to have a stronger subject to depict the devil. I think the text could work but there needs to be more. Perhaps have something in the background that fills space. For example, a dimmed image of fire as a backdrop with the letters painted over it? I found this graphic online of a burst of flame. When I blend this over your photo (Screen mode) it roughly illustrates what I am envisioning here. Anyway, just a thought.

Edited to fix link. The link will take you to a google search. That first image of a burst of flame is what I am talking about. Unfortunately it won't let me link to it directly.
