Oliver Twist

Comment by Bear_Music:
Beautifully processed. The bit of grain/noise is an asset for the mood here. The separation of the head from the background is skillfully done. For my tastes, the crop is bit too tight on the bottom.

As far as relevance to the novel, "Please sir, may I have some more?" is the obvious reference, and it does work, but a couple things keep it from being as strong as it might be, for me: the spoon's too nice, and the bowl and spoon both should show evidence of a first serving consumed. Also, somewhat parenthetically, the white cuff is too clean and too white, if you think about it.

But, in the main, very nicely done. It goes in my 7 group for now, may get bumped or not depending on what else I find in this challenge :-)

Nice one. I gave up on straight horizon lines, but yours is not that bad. Wouldn't be that hard to fill the white and black areas.

I gave this shot a 5. I like the coloration and sharpnes. The idea is interesting with a nice play on words with the title. Unfortunately, the contrast is so high there is little detail and so looses interest for me.

I'm going to say this leans a bit more towards red than pink. I'm not sold on the composition - I think maybe having more of the front of the flower than the back?

This was one of my top picks. I should get back to experimenting with lighting again. Saw this again on the Photo Domino thread.

My team and I were marveling at the dearth of comments in this challenge so I thought I would at least attempt to correct that a little:
Love the concept you have executed here!

Looks like some of that good California basil. ;)

Great recreation of the original. A little more clarity on that sign would make this even better.
