This is really gorgeous. I love your focus but I do have the slightest urge to up the magenta in the cherries, keeping it dark though. On the border, that light inner rim made it work for me. Very sexy photo! (p.s. great username)

This is a fascinating shot. It looks so realistic and yet it also has some qualities of a painting. Although a good catch as it is (and what a backdrop), seeing it makes me wish I could pose a similar shot.... where the colorfully-clothed people are all looking straight ahead and not at the camera, and only the b/w dog, perhaps sitting on a third of the composition, would be looking right at the camera. Keeping that gorgeous backdrop! Maybe I'm just making it cliche? Anyway, thanks for posting this, I enjoyed thinking about it.

Leaving soon - The longest drop

This is really beautiful, grain or no. You have a good eye to have found this capture, and getting the lights in the drop must have been no small task. They are so pretty that they almost look fake.

My favorite kind of cookie! For the photo, I'd echo some of what you've already heard - focus all the cookies, reduce harshness of lighting, consider different-colored backdrop. None of that keeps me from wanting to eat them!

Great idea, execution, title.

Interesting subject. Good composition and metal shine. The stark black and white in your frame makes the image look a little washed out though.

Wow, are they shellacked? I like the shine and good focus on the text, but possibly a more contrasting backdrop or avoiding monochromatic colorizing would improve this.

Good personification and contrast. Nice gritty feel.

Wish to see the whole gun, perhaps barrel could be against lighter background to improve contrast. Great idea, love the slugs and the etched plating.
