Image looks hazy; the apparent blacks aren't dark enough. Unique idea. The reflection is interesting.

What a bummer of a story to go with such a beautiful photo. Kind of freaky tho that it was a little foreshadowing going on.

This was one of my faves. I think it is perfect the way it is - don't worry about the light spots!

Garlic is the most photogenic vegetable/root/edible thing... Incredible colors, and masterful lighting. Maybe the crop could have been shifted a tad to the left, giving it a bit more air on the left, and not quite so much negative space on the right.

There are two ways to look at this image - one, it has a lot of blank space which could be viewed as a negative. Or one could view the rather large space as a positive controlling the core subject by bringing the eye to the object instead of away from it. In either case, this works fine as it is, although the offset to the left could be a little less strong to eliminate the sense of space while keeping the same image size. The image is technically successful without any significant issues - properly focused showing rich detail complimented by the reflection on the surface. As a stand alone art print, it also works as the soft reflected light addresses the need for depth and dimension. Well done - this would work very well as a photo-on-canvass print.
