You've got a decent composition here. I might have put the cookies on a different colored plate so they would stand out more. The lighting is uneven across the frame, and doesn't seem to highlight any portion of the composition with intent. Lastly, the tablecloth is very wrinkled which detracts from the overall visual appeal. Overall, this is a decent shot that didn't meet it's potential.

You've hit just the right note here. I like how you've used the natural lines of the table to enhance the composition. Good work!

Check, please!

Good composition. Did you consider black and white here? This is more than a snapshot, but the colors are kind of flat and overall it lacks tons of visual appeal. I can see you worked hard with the set-up -- good luck in the challenge.

Looks like a very warm and inviting place. The warmness of the color cast is a little overpowering, though. Good luck in the challenge.

This shot has a lot of potential. The motion blur in the face of the waitress doesn't work here, although using it to show the busy motion of the hands was a good idea. Overall, a decent shot.

Coffee Cup

Lovely cup. I'm not sure about the negative space in the top of the frame. It would have worked better if there was some steam rising from the cup. Overall, a decent shot.

This is just fantastic. The toning really works well here, and the facial expression on the waitress is right on the money. You've really done a great job capturing the mood and essence of the coffee shop. Great work here! Good luck in the challenge.

A Romanian morning tradition

I like how you've framed the shot so that the lines of the table point to the action. I'm sure you've heard this from others: the date stamp has to go for challenge entries. You've captured the ordinariness of a morning ritual. Unfortunately, this particular shot has a snapshot feel to it rather than an artistic interpretation of a daily event. Good luck in the challenge.

This shot has lots of potential - the toning really works here. My eye kind of wandered around a little too much before it settled on a focal point. It was hard to choose between the people at the tables, and none of them have a great facial expression. Overall, this a good shot.

Fork

This was a good idea. With shots like this, I'd expect to see an unblemished fork. Overall, a decent shot.
