Congrats on the Blue!
That's a great shot. Unusual to see it in bw - these kind of sports photography usually come in color. Very effective!
How far were you awy -what was your focal length?

Congrats on the red ribbon!

As you can see it resonated very well with the voters.
Meets the challenge perfectly, nice, clean, crisp colors and sharpness
I gave you a nine - not sure what I was seeing but I felt drawn in and liked the mystery as well as the execution.

First when I read that it's an installation in the museum, I was a little ambivalent. After all, it is a work by a third party that you photographed. But the way you photographed and edited it is your own work and therefore unique, so it's all good

Hey Diane
so good to see a picture from you!
And guess what - we choose the same motif for that challenge - isn't that a nice coincidence

Haha - I almost chose the same "model"
But you added the water as eyecatcher - I wouldn't have thought of this
Like!

I also looked at the comments on your picture. It's a nice picture - but not an outstanding one. Willem is right to mention the flat lighting, the missind shadows and the cluttered background.
I myself was enthusiastic about the idea, but there would have been room for improvement in the realization. My vote was still a benevolent 8

Is this seaweed? Looks very Asian and above all this is an interesting tableware...

Nice still life.
The picture would have benefitted if the wooden chairs in the background had been removed and a little bit more light had fallen on the ham

looks very inviting - that's the point of food photography, isn't it?
Like the pepper flakes on the plate

I first had to look up what kind of dish it was...something completely new to me.
As for the photo presentation, an undamaged slice of lemon would have enhanced the whole thing
