I really like the light you've got here. It warms the objects considerably. And the colors chosen here are very soothing. nice job.

I think the colors here would have popped so much more in late afternoon/sunset light. Nice composition.

The clogs are a little too bright...otherwise it's a nice enough shot.

ok, please bear with me. voting this challenge is extremely difficult, not just because of the size, but because we are dealing with images that people consider their best. it makes even constructive criticism hard...

this looks like a nice idea for a still life, but i do find it a bit busy and the lighting to be a bit strong. this idea might work better if the composition was a bit less haphazard and more under control. still lifes tend to do best when their is a decidedly strong subject that is supported and enhanced by the objects and elements around it. remember, simple is better. also, this is just my opinion; you have a nice image, regardless of how it finishes in the challenge. i just hope that it doesn't get lost in the shuffle of this monster-sized challenge. good luck with this and the challenges yet to come!

I like what you were going for here, but the image is a little too busy - comes off as cluttered mainly. Best of luck in future.

A lot of things to like here - the light on the kettle, texture in the cloth. It feels slightly over-bright, whether exposure or processing I don't know, but I would have the levels of the clogs toned down somewhat - they seem almost out of place - and whilst there is detail there, it feels blown out. Also i think the composition is too crowded, especailly the upper right of frame: things there are indistinct, and the confusion of that for me unsettles the rest of the image.
