Given the high-key effect you're going for here, I think this would have worked better if the ground were also part of that invisible whiteness, to really isolate the cake, knife, and crumbs. Otherwise, pretty good.

The biggest thing here is that the lighting is too harsh. The shadows have very hard edges, and the highlights in the metal give it kind of a washed-out look. Some other considerations: The green of the machine doesn't contrast enough with the blue of the sky--this isn't something you can change, really, but it's good to think about the color palette you're working with. When possible, try to use complementary colors. The angle here is also not all that interesting--a lower angle would make the machine look bigger and more impressive. I think it would also help to see where the tires meet the ground. Finally, there's a dust spot in the upper left corner that should be cloned out.

Nice scene. It seems a little underexposed to me, though, and I'd like more contrast.

This image is very well executed--great lighting, beautiful model, interesting location, good composition. However, I feel that the juxtaposition of the title and the image doesn't work. You have this beautiful, graceful model, but the only way it meshes with the title is in the word "ass," which kind of cheapens it, I think.

Nice composition, strong lines. The glow at the front of the column is particularly good. I'd like the sky to be a bit more dramatic.

Beautiful scene. I like the composition a lot--nice layers and depth. I find myself wishing the foreground and sky were brighter, but even so it's very pleasant.

Nice leading lines. There needs to be something else, though, something to add humor or drama, something memorable. This could be the addition of a person or some kind of background to give context. Could also be a scene of some sort, say perhaps the escalator breaking, or a shot showing people walking up and down a stationary escalator.

The main thing I would want different about this is for it to be sharper. There's a lot of nice texture in the pieces, but I don't feel it comes out enough.

Nice texture in the cake, but I feel like it needs to be staged a little better. The big drip of frosting on top of the middle layer detracts for me. It's also a shame that the middle layer is set back a bit from the other two, because the DOF is softening that while the others are sharper. The lighting is very pleasant, though.

Very pretty model and I like the idea. I think a different crop would work better, as the area in her neck and shoulder don't seem to add anything to the image. I also don't understand the significance of the tear (or is it a rhinestone?) in the corner of her eye. The way the earring is in shadow also doesn't work well for me, because it seems like if it's in there, it should be doing something more.
