Beautiful picture. Colors are great and it looks interesting because you used rule of thirds.

Nice use of thirds (as well as depth of field) to focus on the subject. Flowers in forground that are out of focus take up a large part of the frame though. Not sure why I should pay attention to the one flower and not the others.

I could see this fitting into a challenge only called "Destinations", but you were given the further stipulation: "Give us a sense of where you dream of going, or where you're fated to go."

Not the best shot, but I do like the sentiment. Actually a good composition but not as focused as I'd like. This would be really good in black and white with decent contrast. Good luck.

Technically, this shot is okay. The lighting is good; there are no blown out areas and there is still details in the darks. The focus is good in that the subject is still identifiable, and any areas not in focus don't detract. The colors are a bit too uniform for my taste. I think a different color of plate or peas with carrots would have added a dash of flavor to the shot (pun, though bad as it is, was intended).

Compositionally, the long narrow crop you have chosen makes this picture feel flat. It is cramped and tight, and while that in and of itself is not a bad thing, in this shot, it doesn't give the viewer a chance to fully "feel" the shot. The placement of the items in the picture place the focus (at least for me) on the knife and onion slice rather than the shoe.

It does meet the challenge and is a creative and imaginative take on it. I think a couple of things executed differently would have really made this shot stand out.

Best wishes in future challenges.
