I didn't vote in this challenge, but I saw in the forums you were looking for critique. I think the main problem is that the motion isn't stopped. If you look at the "splashing water fruits and vegetables" that scored well, you see that the motion is completely stopped, and the fruits are all absolutely sharp. The only way I've found to really stop motion in this kind of shot is to shoot in a dark room and use flash to stop the motion. A flash will fire faster than your fastest shutter speed. You also might want to use a white sheet or something (waterproof) out of the frame on the sides to block any stray colors from showing up.

The thing that's both a blessing and a curse with studio shots is that you have full control over everything in the shot. This kind of control can create an amazing shot, but also forces you to be much more exacting with every aspect of the shot. Good luck in the next challenge.

This would look better if something in it were sharp, preferably the vegetables. Lowering your aperture would allow you to increase your shutter speed and freeze the motion. This would certainly sharpen things up.

Losing the yellow tint in the air bubbles on the left side would also help. The picture would have much more impact with just the color of the vegetables, the white of the water, and the black background.

Really the big issue here is not freezing the motion.

Hope that helps. You asked for comments. I'm afraid the ones you received in challenge did you a disservice.
