Beautiful image, but I'd worry that the contrast of light and dark in the water would make putting type on the page very difficult, as a magazine cover.

Very well done, creative, good choice o sbjects. It could be just a little bit more sharp. 8

nice soft breakfast lighting, almost makes me want to get up early in the morning so that my waffles can look like that too :)

Wow, my spiral thingy is full of bills. :) You're lucky! Nice letter opener, BTW.

Mmm. Syrup. Waffles. Mmm. MMMMMMM.

Gosh darn it, more food! This has been an agonizing voting round! I like the shot overall, the placement/framing, the idea. It seems a bit washed out and/or overly yellow at the top third or so; the bottom third is much better.

Its a nice picture, but to me it just has an auction-house catalogue feel to it (lol, not that i've ever looked at one before... maybe antiques roadshow). Nice choice of BG colour. Good luck with it.

Meets the challenge. I like the composition a lot, a second strawberry would've made it more complete for me though. Like the cropped off fork in the background, it rounds things off nicely. I think you deliberately went for those warm orangey hues, for my personal taste they are a little too much, almost as if your white balance is off. Still, overall, I kinda like your shot :)

The blue and the silver go very well together. However you can see that the surface is not entirely clean. A more diffused lighting setup would have made the picture much stronger. Also if you had cropped a little differently. Maybe if the ball end of the letter opener was approx. the same distance from the bottom as it is from the side. 6

Great photo... now if only we could spot edit you could remove the white spots above the point of the letter opener.
