Greetings from the Critique Club

First off, I must tell you I loved your "Food" entry. Right, don't need rocket science, just need good ideas and execution.

Okay, back to the subject at hand. Your kiwi abstract. I like the composition very much. The star shape in the center and the black seeds around it make a lovely pattern. And of course the gradiations of green are lovely.

Unfortunately, even though it is an abstract, usually people like something to be sharp. And it's likely that the overall soft-focus of this image worked against you in this Challenge.

You are doing well after only four Challenges, and I wish you well in future competitions. Welcome aboard.

I read about this once - to put red lip stick on strawberries to enhance their ripeness for images - this would have helped in this case - unless these are suppose to be white strawberries? I wouldn't know - a great image though - love the symmetry - nice work :)

Good, well balanced composition. Good use of the white plate against a dark background. Clean and simple and straight to the point. One of my top picks in this challenge.

Yum chocolate and strawberries, two of my favorite foods, combine that with a great photo and you have success. I like the border on this photo it really compliments the photo. This is one of my favorites.
