This would be greatly improved with a tighter shot of the bowl of soup, because you have all the elements you would need to tighten it and still have a good photo.

For a bowl of, say, tomato-banana soup, presented like this on the menu, if service and ambience could match the immaculate attention and care of the photographer... I'd be obliged to pay dearly and tip genourously.

Given the 'emotive' limits set by the challenge, I vote in the same spirit.

Beautifully clear photo with good focus and I like the way the foreground fades into the background. I just wish there was more of an interesting background to look at as there is so much empty space in the top half of the image. In addition, I find the red of the tomato soup to be lacking pizzazz. Maybe a spot light on the soup alone would have brought that out some more or some increased saturation in an image editor. Well done.

FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hi, Danielle,

This was one of my 10s in the Matrix challenge (I voted even though I haven't seen the movies - I asked the kids what they were about). I must say I really like this photo, and I think it should have scored higher. I'm also wondering how it was done.

That said, here go the comments.

I think focus (on the typed stuff all over the picture) is very good. The out of focus background is great. Lighting is very good also. The colours are perfect. I'm finding little wrong here.

From what the kids have told me about the matrix, when I looked at it I thought, "Trapped in the Matrix", rather than "Escaping...". But then, I haven't seen the movies. From a photo point of view, the picture is nicely composed. I don't mind the slight slant in the text at all. I like the overall patterned appearance.

I don't think I'm being much help here. Sorry. You know, of the four pictures that you've entered, 3 have been favourites of mine in their respective challenges. Anyway. I think you'll take over the best photos for your camera page in no time. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your pictures. Take care,

Ursula (uabresch)

I like the fade from the white top to the more warm tinted bottom, how did you do that so well? Simple image yet very effective, nice job.

Classy shot. Nice choice of subject. Great background and lighting. I love the white in the top half. 9

Comment by carolee:
This image is just so... pretty! The composition, with all that white space, is very unusual. But it WORKS because of the symmetry and formality of the subject!

It doesn't exactly scream "liquid" to me, but it definitely meets the challenge requirements and leaves an impression, in a positive way.
