I like it a lot. A few suggestions... It seems a bit noisy to me, perhaps take it through neatimage once and see what that does for it. Also, the expression doesn't quite seem to be what you are trying to get across. I think confused would have made a better title for this one.

THe procade table clothe is very nice but is not suited to your table setting and the I think the meal on the main plate and the food on it are much to busy for a really pleasing to the eye effect.....TOOO many colors and the food does look all that well focused all though you should get brownie points for a well balanced meal. Love, Martha (well I got to do something while waiting to go to the big house! LOL!)

Not quite sharp enough and that bright candletop is a bit distracting.

Very pretty shot, and it fits the vertical magazine format. If I were the cover editor, though, I be hard pressed to figure out where to put my type without detracting from the picture.

Your picture is really nice, the composition is great and so are the colors. I think it would be a bit better if the focus was crisper. I'm also not really sure that the flowers up in the corner really add to the shot. They kind of look like they are hanging in mid air.

Nicely done, Martha. Slightly out of focus. Candle flame should be in scene. Good luck.

Comment by Tallbloke:
very interesting. The food on the plate (which would be the primary focus of the magazine) lacks a little crispness in focus and (if I may be so bold) looks unappetising.
