Very creative and different. I like the black background. I feel as if this needs something (not sure what though), I'm not getting that 'oooh' feeling. 7

Personally I don't think this is very good - needs more focus. Just doesn't grab my attention - sorry.

Excellent - creative idea. Only one small thing - could be more light (not necessarily a lighter photo - but more light in the photo) - otherwise this is really great. 9 from me.

Strawberries on the Rocks
by BNC

Comment:
Good photo. Only I think the lighting could be different, such as to put more emphasis on the strawberries instead of the ice behind it - just personal opinion. I like the composition. Definately creates the feeling of wanting a nice cool strawberry!! 9

Fettucini Feeling

I don't know what to say - I have mixed feelings. It's grainy, but it works with this photo. Actually the more I look at it, the more it looks good (not the food). Not much more to comment - Good Work!!

This is amazing photography. Everything is just right!! I like every aspect...ie Lighting, Angle, point of view, color...not time to list them all. This, to me, is a definate wall hanger!!! So peacefull, looks like a wonderful place to get away and just relax. The purple flowers just add so much. EXCELLENT!!! 10+++

Interesting. I think using the rule of thirds would be more effective with the empty black space - I would crop out the left black space and some of the wrist (sometimes I try it while I'm voting - shrinking the screen so that only that portion shows - and I like it) There is strong lines at the base of the thumb that really come out when the left is cropped closer - Just my opinion. This is great work.
