very nice. I can see this on the wall of an upscale kitchen. I'll bet you're gonna be top 5 with this one :)

Good DOF and desaturation. I think cropping to make the subject more centralized may have been nice.

One of the few pictures that meets the challenge. And a great choice. Awesome dof - looks like it could be picked right from the monitor. Perfect workmanship on the desaturation. Very nice colors. There is too much negative space on the bottom, top and left side - a slightly different crop seems in order. Still - an excellent piece of work. Cropped, matted and framed - it will sell. Rated 9.

That bright red luscious raspberry stands out aginst the background, but IMHO the other berries in the cluster should have been red as well.

Lovely shot. I might suggest a tighter crop and maybe move the berry a bit off center. 7 from me.

Bump up your lighting (did you fill this?) and get rid of the passerby in the background and this could be great. Colors snap, but you can't see them.

This is nice - but I think a top down shot of the buckets with fish would have conveyed more "choice". The shot subject seems to be the man with the bowl than the fish. Making the fish in the buckets more of the subject would have added more to this. you could crop this in the middle (and keep the bottom), to better convey choice.
