not sure if this shows up on your screen or not...but in the back on the horizon it has a bright neon/yellow light all the way across...

I don̢۪t like the post processing. The clouds and horizon look to artificial compared to the landscape.

Interesting photo, but the bizzare colors in the sky and along the horizon kill it for me.

Edits are terrible, they are not even subtle. The cluttered background and lack of sharpness all press the OFF button for voters.

I gave it a 4, but to be honest I was being generous

i am not sure how you got the black background, it seems you reduced the brightness in photoshop which created the edges around the blender and the cereal bowl. i think the picutre would have been a lot better if you actually put all the cereal bowl in perspective.

my reason for my low vote on this was that weirdness around the coffee pot and other thing. its splotchy and looked very out of place. made it quite hard for me to focus on the rest of the shot. theres a little of it around the bowl too. HTH

Just not tons of wow to this one. The focus is good but the subject matter just isn't what gives people that "Woah, did you see that one?" feeling, if you get my drift. I think I would not have cropped the bottom quite as tightly, either, so that the whole bowl is showing. Maybe even scoot down the table further to provide more of a "setting" instead of a closeup, if that makes sense. Hope this helped. ;~D

I think it is a little too dark. It is kind of hard to make out what everything is. Try lightening it up a bit next time.

I have seen better pictures on this theme of the breakfast. The cereal is rather unappetising. It isn't even quite sharp.

Hello from the Critique Club,

Welcome to DPC. I must admit that this image has the most detailed comments I've seen of the nearly 100 images I have critiqued. I don̢۪t' have a lot to add, as my impressions of this image before reading the comments mirror those of the comments you received. The two items that hurt your score the most is that something doesn̢۪t look right post processing wise and that for the majority of voters, this does not meet the challenge as a portrait. Without seeing the original image, it is hard to make suggestions as to improving the post processing. Keep trying, the composition of this image shows that you have a good eye and once you master the post processing part and learn what works at DPC, you will find your score will improve dramatically.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim
