I like the idea a lot but I do find the yellow/green just too bright while the face is too dark.The details on the red balls are lost.

it's not affecting your score, but the border here is too loud.. it is grabbing my attention away from your photo... - setzler

Great colors! and I really like the arrangement, but I think the styrofoam blue plate takes away from the otherwise classy table setting, and on the whole, it appears somewhat tilted and needs a bit of straightening out.

Boy this was certainly a popular theme. First of all I must say that your choice of color scheme is premium. The tender blues and burgundy with that kiss of yellow is very comfortable on the peepers. The homey wood table is also a lovely touch. There are some minor issues to quibble over such as hot highlights on the tea packages and blue serving dish. But nothing to fret over. I also like the nice glow on the silver utensils. Often they drown away in gray shadows. A pleasing image.

Really like this shot - like the composition and the colors. The only thing - and I realize this may be too picky - would be to reduce the glare on the pouch near the knife as it is a bit distracting. High score :)

FIRST IMPRESSION: Great capture. Very impressive and deceptively difficult to pull off.

CHALLENGE: Meets the challenge perfectly.

COMPOSITION: Your composition is just about flawless. You've filled the frame perfectly. The combination of the angle of the plane and the angle of the post on the right side of the plane make it appear that your horizon is not level, but that's actually just an illusion. Still, I wonder if it would make sense to rotate the shot slightly clockwise to counteract that (this is just a suggestion, I did not actually try it).

TECHNICAL: Color balance, levels, esposure, DOF and other technical aspects are flawless. Lighting conditions for this shot were used well.

CONCLUSION: One of the best submissions this week, and there is little I can suggest to improve it. Congratulations on a great photograph!

Thanks for sharing and good luck in future challenges!

Should have been cropped closer on left side Subject appears to be on the placemat, in my opinion therefore cropping should have been even around that. Otherwise great composition, expecially color co-ordination and attention to detail, down to tag on tea bag. Nice job. Well photographed.
