I would've done some cropping and brought out some more sharpness in this photo. Cropping to bring the "tag" into a corner would make this look really sharp!

I like the use of the flask for your composition - good visual aid. The jam doesn't look all that appealing to me, but good lighting and product photo.

Sorry to hear about this loss but your photo honors him well.

Nice tummy, I didn't really notice the finger nails. :-)

I have been past this photo many times in the past and always stopped to view it. I like it very much. It is sensual, without being blatant. Your dirty fingernails, which, BTW, I have noticed in the past, make me think this is an image of a young lady, taking a brief break from working in the garden on a warm summer's day.

I pretty sure I would not put it in the nude category, and probably not the portrait category, because I have a parochial definition of portrait that includes a face. Too bad there isn't a category for Zen photo.

Nice exposure and focus control. You defocused the background just enough to prevent it from grabbing ones view, but it is sufficient shart to let the observer know this is a pastoral scene.

It is very pleasant. Nice job. I like it very much.

This gave me a big smile. Where does one go to get said "Special" Raspberry Jam. ;-) Nice idea.

Warning: the "Warning" is out of focus. I might suggest a larger F stop to give you a bit more depth of field. Next time, you might pick a new jar unless you are suggesting that Ohlson's is just too good for a jar to stay new.

Nice job.

And just in case you don't get enuf of a buzz off the jam... there's always the flask. I hope you posted the recipe in your description.

Ha ha, love the title. Is this jam for real or did you make the label yourself?

It's "special" - love quotation marks that dont make a whole lot of sense!

great shot .. love the darkness and that little bug .. i love bugs .. !! ..
are you sure he was a bee ? .. he looks very different from the bees we have around here .. different legs and wings etc .. ours are very small too .. no more than 1 cm long usually .. i hear they have bumble bees somewhere or other .. they can get to 2.1/2 cms long .. i'd love to have bumble bees where i live .. the bigger, the better .. a lot easier to photograph !!..:)
