Should have used some color dye in the glass to make it more yelllow. Very nice however... Doing that and then moving the glass farther to the left would give more balance and make a great pic. 8.

its bright its almost like looking at the sun, this probably would look more awesome with a black background.

Composition - As a longtime fan of the Triscuit, I'll say that it is one of the best crackers on the market still and with a can of easy-cheese is one helluva snack. The composition is simple, uncluttered but detailed in the depiction of every minute detail in the cracker. There were a number of ways to depict the cracker in terms of angles, but you chose the direct straight on approach probably having something to do with the challenge title. The part of this picture I like the best is the lighting and exposure. Masterfully done.

Photography - Every grain of salt is accounted for on this one. Great crisp clear macro, and again, the exposure is excellent

Processing - Doesn't look like much was done with this. Which, if you did do a lot, is quite a compliment.

Overall - Simple, basic. I think you maximized your score with the subject you chose to use. I think nabisco should consider this shot on the front of its boxes. Well done - Bob

Composition: I like the direction of the two crossing petals and the thin leaves. For a flower it seems quite angular.
Technical: Focus is excellent. On my monitor the stem is very dark, which detracts from the pic for me.
Overall impression: Darkness let it down slightly for me. 7

I would have preferred more lighting on the stem, otherwise really nice.

Wonderfull rose picture. I like the soft light. It is a little dark in my opinion. It fits the challenge well. Good luck with this great submission.
