Embrace the dark side, this is fantastic! That doll really is creepy...what great processing! There was a Twilight Zone episode about a murderous doll-- this image brings that to mind :-)

Yes, devilish, indeed. I love your creative pairings of images and text.

Great job with the desat. Love the Blue. Almost looks silk. Perhaps a shot of neat image on the background to blur it even more and remove the shadow noise, but that's a nitpick. Really liked this series.

Great shot. Nice DOF, perfect focus and the shadows do not seem murky, they are just right. Great crop to frame the subject and put it on stage. Very nice!

Wow! Now this is good enough to get me salivating. Despite the 'harsh lighting,' this really conveys the subliminal that any food picture should (assuming you want to actually sell the food) and that is... "C'mon, take a bite!" Love the crop and inclusion of the greens. Was this in a RAW format? Perhaps you could tone the white down slightly on the exposure adjustment? I like it just the way it is. From me an 8-9 in a food/fruit/ad challenge, probably get killed by most for what you already know (light).

Somehow this works for me. The blur adds the touch of life to an otherwise static scene.

The more I study this... the more it grows on me. It's like an impressionist painting... telling the story, yet showing no details. Well done!

Love both the macro and the overlay effect... nicely done.
