TOTALLY creeped me out, Bear!!! While the full slice was breathtaking, this looks like a bloody mouthful! Awesome.

Very interesting play on light and dark. This has a very painterly quality about it. Great photo.

I just have one question....

Why a garlic clove and a juicer?

Finished far too low. I thought you did an excellent job of capturing the textures.

Comment by oldbimmercoupe:
overwrought border detracts rather than sets off the lovely red.

This is good and the tutorial worked well for you. THe only problem I see is the use of selective desaturation is in my opinion supposed to provide a pop of color to act as the focal point, Here, the focal point is caused more by the compositional technique of filling the frame and the selective desat acts as secondary. At any rate it's a good photo with lots of detail in the tomato.

This is very sharp and fits the challenge well.
