Been there, felt that. It's so creepy how the giant hand seems to be coming through the window. I know it's basic editing, but a bit more midtone brightness might have made this pop more.

feels like it could use a hair more sharpening, or DOF. focus seems to be on her hair as opposed to her face. good happy people all around.

despite looking up, I feel as though I'm falling down. This image has a huge vertigo factor for me.

highly under appreciated.

There was a book cover I saw -- of course that I cannot find now -- about OCD, and the typography was spelled out using hundreds of needles for each letter. This reminds me of that.

first thing I noticed as well was the well-used pan.

I think this is one that would work well with focus stacking to make everything appear in focus. I think the background should be white, not black. The butter is a bit on the bright side, some of the details are getting washed.

this cutting board would be a good background for your BBQ shot.

Pulled Pork BBQ with Slaw and Sweet and Spicy BBQ Sauce

I don't mind the burnt bits. I noticed the softness right away, and also a less-than-desirable bun that reminds me of a fast food restaurant bun. The slaw seems to have lost quite a bit of color as well. I feel the color correction in this one tends to be a little on on the warm side. Would a more natural background do the food more justice? -- wooden picnic table, BBQ grill, sauce condiments containers?

Little changes here, as it's a great shot as is. Be careful about cropping the gravy out. a little bit more breathing room on the bottom would be nice.
