The lighting kills the shot, plus the composition is a bit too much in your face

overexposed, composition is lacking. choice of colors and props are ok, but the lighting really kills this picture

Today's Special : Caramel Corn Latte

nice idea, but lack of sharpness ruins this shot. It looks like a studio setup so its puzzling why the corn in the glass is not sharp. Moreover, the light doesnt really add to the scene. The highlight on top right and streak distract.

Firefighter

While it has all the components of making a fantastic shot, I agree Im somewhat surprised this one won. As pointed out it lacks sharpness, but, more importantly the firefighter aspect is not strong. Besides the helmet, which is not that obvious, it could be anybody. I dont agree with the criticism that recent acts influence the polls, as the topic challenge is photojournalism, recent acts are expected to dominate the entries. I would have rated it a 7.

:) made me smile, going to follow how this does. good use of props, and colors, light could be more dramatic, but composition is fine 8. minor point is the bump on the background which distracts
