I like this image. I just wish you could have edited out the background tree it's distracting (but that's obviously not in the rules) and I find the border really competes with the pole. i would have skipped it entirely. Other then those 2 aspects, great colour, meets the challenge, and the crop you've selected is perfect.

good idea and execution. I know that its easy to play monday morning quarterback...but my only suggestion would be to do another angle to get the branch out of frame. But having said that, I won't factor that into my scoring, because this was obviously a spur of the moment thing and complete creativity wins out over staged "studio" shots every time in my books. The vertical framing job is excellent as well. Nice work.

I like the color combination and the bowl but I wish you would have gotten a little closer.

Interesting coloring, really gives the image a unique look. Focus is great, the lighting enhaces rather than detracts. Border use is great too. 8

Fun kale! I like this point of view which exposes the patterns of the leaves.
