I like the clarity of the ice and the simplicity of the scene.

I'm finding this one really tough to comment on. I don't know what that yellow thing she's eating is, some sort of marshmallow? It looks interesting whatever it is!

But what distracts me more than anything is that it has a certain snapshot look about it. And, for me, what gives it that feel is the lighting. It really looks like you used on-camera flash here, I could be wrong, but that's the feeling I get.

Nice shot - I think too cold for my personal taste - Maybe with a bit more of a vibrant blue background it would be more zappy?

I like the light sort of coming down from the top of the picture

Good luck with the challenge

Easter Eater?

I don't know what those are, but they look like they are either really yummy or really nasty.

I like how the middle one has a little speck reminiscent of a small circle for the mouth. As if it's surprised/worried about the prospect of being the next one down the hatch...

I'm sorry to say this, but I honestly don't like the picture.

The lighting, the model's make-up (POWDER!), messy yellow stuff everywhere, uninteresting hands and general composition are disappointing to me.

Using a white background might have helped to hide some things (like the lip-hair, which I might add is NOT considered unattractive in every culture, it's quite a mark of beauty in the philippines and some other asian countries, but in those cases, they like it more off on the sides) and softened the harshness of this rather stark picture.

Further, balancing the light would have REALLY helped this. Generally speaking, using the flash as a primary light source is a BIG no-no.

I'm not trying to be harsh here, just specific.

Maybe try this at one of those weird angles people seem to like, forming a diagonal across the frame? I'm not big on the pics of women eating things, but they generally seem to do OK on average. Like someone else already mentioned, maybe dress it up a bit with red lipstick, red nailpolish, and have her pulling a bit off the peep. By the way, I liked the outtake quite a bit!

I like this idea...

A tighter crop and maybe the actual bite being taken out of the peep would have helped???

Nice shot though

I am honestly trying to say what I see that may help, at least IMO, and I do like this, would have probably voted it a 6, but did not get to this one. First thing it does appear a LITTLE soft, not quite sharp enough, otherwise, anything else (as in maybe bright red fingernail polish??), is personal taste. Well done shot overall, under rated by voters, not a big surprise to me!! LOL

Comment by olddj:
That is funny, reminds me of the now famous "grapes of wrath" shot! I too would have entered this, if I had been feeling free that day! Well done, and yes, I honestly think it would have beaten your actual entry, sorry!!

I wish you'd have left off the red border. It matches the car perfectly, but it clashes with his facial hair. My attention is drawn to the clash, and whatever that is behind the woman that is the same color as their hair.

Absolutely brilliant! Sigh. Good to see someone else with a similarly weird sense of humour in the masses!

Personally, I would have entered this and forgotten about bombing - which is what I did with JUMP! :-)

Great shot!
