Background and surface is not smooth but props for it being free of dust or dirt (even if done in post). But for a product shot it is way to busy with no central theme as to what is the product.

A bit busy but nicely displayed. Would be one of those pages that then has letters or numbers next to each item so it could be identified and purchased. (Commenting only.)

Greetings from the Critique Club!

At first I thought it was part of the statue but that didn't make any sense for the challenge. I think the only reason you didn't score better with this picture is because the rabbit statues seem to be the main focal point.

The focus looks great, maybe a wider aperture could have been used to put the rest of the picture out of focus leaving the duck sharp. Also a wee bit of contrast added would be nice.

Overall I think this is a very strong image on a personal level, after reading your notes it makes more sense and shows the sentimental value that the voters would not have known of. I wonder if you got any strange looks carrying around this duck :P

This doesn't say "branch" to me as much as some other photos do but just had to say that you did an awesome job with catching those crystals!

Absolutely beautiful image, and it's wonderful how it meets the challenge in more ways then one. Composition and detail are faultless. Only criticism of this that I have is the vignette/border you've used... IMHO, it doesn't add to the image... makes it look like a bevelled web button. Just how I see that aspect of the processing.... nevertheless, this is one of a handful of images that I've given my top mark too. Well done.
