The photo is a bit uninteresting with the inbetween shutter on the water. Might want to try a slower shutter to really get that moving water captured and find a more in depth subject to really capture the viewers eye.

I wonder if this would have been better with a very long exposure to blur the water.

This photo could benefit from a stronger composition.

Peanut Butter and jell O ?!?

From the Critique Club:

This is IMHO a perfect example of a technically well done shot that didn't score very well in the challenge. You have good DOF and focus. Your lighting is very nice. You have a nice white background but a little bit of grey around the base of the peanut butter cup. Your exposure is a touch off. The frosting on the peanut butter is a little blown out losing some of the detail. Well thought out and executed.

Why didn't it do so well? I think it is because the overall impact of the shot is a touch unappealing. I don't understand the reason for putting the jello inside or on top of the jar. Green 'peanut butter' makes me go eeewwww. So though this shot is well executed, it's not the kind of shot that scores well in this medium called DPC.

Nice idea, arrangement, and composition. Too bad whipped cream is blown out, and more DOF, especially for foreground, would be better.
