I like the shape created by the two heads together. The detail on the basket is terrific, and I love the puppy frown lines.

Nice textures, I love the mix of organic and stone; nice composition as well.

The overall "light and color temperature" of the piece is a bit cool, and although it is a winter shot, perhaps a warmer late afternoon light would lend more to the overall feel of the shot.

Perfect. Wonderfully creative and executed. Bravo. My only nit is that the pestle sort of disappears a little between the handle and the leaf.

Since you were so patient with me, you get a bonus comment. The girl caught my attention in this image. She's beautiful, of course, but the flapping wings also provide a very interesting element. It's too bad about the main bird in the image which probably ultimately ruins the shot. It suffers from the old adage "too much ass, not enough face". :P

Great location, BUT you've blown the red channel quite a bit. I've found that most digital sensors have the most trouble with the red channel and it is easy to saturate. Your image suffers because of it. Because the image is so shifted to the red spectrum, the sensor essentially has about 1/4th the number of effective megapixels (because each pixel is 1 red, 2 green, 1 blue dots). Almost all your information is in the red channel and I bet the blue channel, for example, is almost black. Do you shoot in RAW?
