I hope you donĂ¢€™t mind but I copied this shot in to photoshop and adjusted the contrast, this resulted in a beautiful landscape. Unfortunately here I can not make out enough detail behind the dull grey haze.

this just looks washed out rather than soft-focused

I'd add more contrast, but a nice shot anyway.

Definitely met the challenge. A very nice image.

I would have tried to use a less damaged clove of garlic. That detracts abit and it's just a tad grainy, a little soft reflected light may help that.

I like the textures all around but there are a couple of hot spots on the top of the bulb.

The cinammon is very nice, but one or the other I think. You have a lot of nice detail showing in the garlic and table already I don't think an additional element is helping here.

Good angle and composition.

Really a very good effort.
I hope this helps.

Soft focus is just a little bit overdone.
