Pretty nice abstract using shallow DOF. The lighting is solid and not overly bright.

Strange blurring/focus effects here. Intriguing.

Very creative! Love how the reds and the yellow hues really pop off the black background. Very bold and vibrant. Lighting on the main subjects is good but it could be better. The outline of the glass on the gumball (or in this case, 'lemon drop') machine fades into the black background. In some spots you can't even see it. Then there is the opposite problem with the glass reflections causing odd circular patterns to be seen on the lemons inside. Hmmm, might a polarizer filter have helped on the reflections. Either a different light angle or a slight change in angle of photographing the subjects might help with getting the glass shape of the gumball machine to be more visible. Either that or some selective editing to bring up gamma or brightness/contrast levels might do the trick. Lastly, if it is 4 for a dollar you should show the 4 lemons and the dollar. The quarters lay flat and are not as visible because of position and lighting. Placing them upright leaning on each lemon would make them more visible and play into the title even more. All in all this is an above average photo it justs needs a little more to push it into the exceptional category. 7

Nice use of shallow depth of field and good angle. I find the dust on the black key is rather distracting though.

I just opened your last free study and a flower appeared. The first impression was: o man, a flower on a free study. But then I saw the star at the water droplet and thought "that's a nice touch, adding to the cliché". You know that this is perfectly done in terms of the technique, lightning, composition (although, more negative space would be better, I guess...also, some arrangements of the petals, so that they don't cover each other).
But, it's a nice photo, a chance to relax... I can easily see this in any calendar or wall of a florist.

Great idea and setup. Clarity and sharpness are nice, and lighting is very nicely done. Good work.
