Before and After

Oh dear lord.... as a vegan, all I can say about this photo is EWW! I'm sorry, but this is too ugly for words, and it's not even well lit or photographed. I don't intend to be mean, but if you had put a bit more work into the technical side of it, I might have been able to overcome the fact that I've always felt like retching at the site of deep fried chicken.

This is very well photographed to be reminiscent of childhood. Nice and colourful, and tightly composed. The soft shadows are lovely, so is the shallow DOF. But.... it's chewed gum! Bleh!

Weird.... you must have cut out that glowing "C" and lit it from behind? Overall, the photo seems dim and grey, and the composition is a bit cluttered. I don't really find it appealing.

Cool filtering. Was it done with despeckle? It makes it seem like a watercolour illustration. The lines and colours in this are nice and bold. I really like it.

Lovely tight shot. The composition of this is great, I love how all the bananas kind of spiral out from one point. The lighting is nice, and I love the bright yellow colours.

The composition of this is a little dull. A closer crop could have been better. A lot of the glass is in shadow, which makes it hard to distinguish from the dark background. Some more lighting from the left or front could have helped.

Cool idea... but the lighting is far too stark and the photo has little tonal depth. It needs more contrast, but if you do that, the jacket on the right will be indistinguishable from the background. I think you should have used a white background or maybe grey, and not used front lighting (is it the flash?).

I like this photo for being full of character. The composition is a little confusing because of the compeition between the girl's eyes and the photo for attention. But overall, I like it.

Interesting idea, but I don't think it makes a nice photo. The composition just doesn't work for me. The hammers lead my eyes out to the sides of the photo. I think a bit more asymmetry would have helped.

The title is a bit cheesy, but I love the composition and camera angle here. The swirl in the beans is gorgeous. The lighting is very warm, somehow it really conjures the smell of coffee to me. The only thing I don't like is that it's yet another bloody Starbucks reference... why is that brand name so common on this site? I'm glad we've managed to escape Starbuckisation in my country so far!
