nice pouch, money being the subject I would have put in more foreground so that it was better lit....don't know know what the other object is, sorry, and I do not see the need for it here.....just the pouch and it's shadow would have been a better choice, IMO.

You could have used your light source to greater effect.

Technical: Fits the challenge very well. Exposure composition and focus all good. I'd like to see the light a little less hot in the lower left and reaching the bag just a little more- angle the light slightly different and diffuse it maybe?

Personal: Very creative. I like it a lot.

My vote: 7

I don't know what you're trying to say with this image. I can't seem to make the title fit it. It's a nice composition though. You do have some exposure issues and it's a little grainy.

Excellent photo. Haven't seen the rest of the pictures yet, but I still can predict it a high score. I wish the shadows were a bit more soft though. 9

Greetings from the Critique Club!

There are lots of good things to say about this image. I like your lighting - the shadows resulting from a single light-source are very pleasing. The shadow of your hand is making an accusatory gesture to the garlic. The composition is well thought-out. The color Red is a great contrast against the gum.

A couple of very minor issues: As you know, your garlic is just a tad bright - not enough to hurt your image, though. The major problem I had was not being able to tell what that thing was resting on your finger until I read your comments. At first, I thought maybe it was a vitamin supplement for garlic, and this was a poster advertising the health benefits of garlic pills, free from the smelly breath. Anyway, all around good shot!

Very nice shot; I can actually imagine the loamy leaf smell more readily than coming snow.
