Marvelous! I've got to learn how to create this misty, hazy, dreamlike quality. And the colors are just wonderful.

Greetings from the Critique Club -

Well - looking at your description it seems like you have a general understanding where this shot is lacking. The lighting is weak and the colors are flat. The orange tint to the picture overall is unflattering. I think a tweak in levels or curves could have brought out the brightness and natural colors of your subjects.

A nice setup. It does have a feel of a battle between the corn and peas. You definitely met the challenge with this pic. For me the angle of the plate is a bit extreme - it almost makes me a bit dizzy.

The border is an odd color and doesnt suit the image IMO. I am assuming you pulled the color off of one of the peas but I think a thin black border would have suited this better.

Looking down now at earlier comments it seems like you recieved great feedback which is sometimes hard to come by and the lower and mid range shots. Keep working at it and trying out different stuff and you will be breaking out of the 4s and 5s in no time. GOod luck in future challenges.

Tim

I wish there was the photo was a little more exposed. Colors also look a little off.

i'd like this image better if it had less of an orange tinge in the lighting. It washes out the other colors.

Little bit flat needs more contrast.

I like the overall idea but it is not pulled off well IMO. the tilt is not working for me here. Lighting could be much better which could have led to a sharper image. the silverware is not adding much for me and i would have cropped it out. extra point for the idea though.

I think this is a battle between the peas and the corn. Nice try, but ... huh?
