Nice contrasts and great colors. I like the composition too, but maybe a little too much empty space on the upper left corner. In that same corner, the white in not as pure as everywhere else .... But I still think you did a good job.

With such an obvious subject, you put yourself in a position of having to produce an absolutely exceptional photograph to score well, I would think. The immediate problems are a lack of detail - that fine edge of a sense of texture, caused by what looks like poor compression artefacts. I like the idea of softening the image beyond the red rose, but that only draws attention to the detail thing there. The composition is good - nice to fill the frame, and the colour range is effective; but I fear this just isn't going to stand out in the mix.

Love the colors, not sure about the plastic look .. they do not look natural. Well done and good luck

The whites are too bright for this composition. A background closer to the color of the inside of the crucible would have been better.

lighting and colours are great - if only the mounds had been cleaner (poured through a funnel in similar quantities?)
