I think this was pretty well received! I thought the tree and the sky were gorgeous. You did a great job with swapping out the channels. I usually skip that and go straight for black and white lol. Congrats on a great placement :)

I like how you made something delicate look like it has some rough, gritty textures.

I love how you brought out the details in the man's face. His expression is quite pivotal to this story. Wonderful capture.

The lighting in this is amazing. She is so beautiful. Never would have guessed she was 14. Congrats on the ribbon!

I liked this for the toned down lighting and the blur of textures in the glasses. I think it's also cool that you can just barely read the Coca (?) in the glass as well.

Someone once told me to try and shoot so that your photo is not title dependent. When I vote, I usually do not see the title so I kind of depend on the image to tell me a story. When I voted on your photo, I gave it a 5. I saw several different elements all competing for my attention so I did not know what your main subject was in the shot. You don't need so much of the counter in the foreground because it does not enhance the image. Personally, what I think would have been cool would be to remove everything but the coffee maker. Pull it away from the wall a bit and have the photo be that and the tile. The black against the beautiful colors in that tile would have made for a great contrast.
