Beautiful job. Wonderful lighting, terrific subject chosen. I love the setup. The long, vertical lines of this photo are fabulous! A 10.

Very intriguing macro of this food! The close-up view really brings out the textures and colors of this food nicely. There is a general glare to things, though, that might be avoided with more diffused light--outside in the solid shade, for instance, would give you nice natural colors with little glare. Anyway, just some thing to experiment with. Have fun!

Love the feeling of grace this offers. I would have been tempted to crop off the very low base and leave the flowers floating in space.

The blue plate and red tomato make an attractive photo of a visually boring (but tasty) food.

Certainly is alone! I like the play of color against the grey, the use of space helps increase the feeling of alone. The focus looks pretty good as is the use of natural lighting. That said, the image doesn't pop for me, its technically good but is missing a spark in my opinion. 6 due to tech. merit, would've been higher if the interest factor was there for me.

I like the use of "primary colors" but with the lighting wasn't quite so harsh.

Wow, I love the contrasting textures in this image. The vase has a real organic, sensuous feel while the background is more structured. The lighting looks great to me. As a personal preference I'd rathered one of the blooms be facing me the viewer. The red against the neutral is just the right amount of color to draw the eye to the flowers, doesn't over power the simplicity of the image. Well done. 7

I like the contrast between the leaf and the asphalt, but the other little tree bits (Maple spinners etc) detract from the effect and the overall image.

Fall can deffinetley be a lonely season and this leaf is by itself. Nice shadows...they are actually calming and soften the blacktop.
