Great diagonal composition. Would love to see some smoke too.

Some bases of Curry

Beautiful!
What a lot of black pepper you have!
Nice colours, nice composition, lighting OK, border supportive rather than competing for attention.
I like this very much.

Mmmm! Nice lighting. Composition doesn't quite work for me but certainly better at an angle than head on.

Lighting a little too harsh, but, on right hand side of frame, nice detail in the skins. Good composition, interesting choice of b/w.

Fuel of the Day

Less accurate it would be but I think coffee beans insteaf of ground might work better here - certainly it's not immediately obvious that it's coffee and if I saw this outside of this challenge I'd assume it was mud in a terracotta flowerpot.
I like the composition very much, feels very balanced. DOF choice works well as does position of scoop.

Nice idea, focus and lighting poor.

In the Gym

Yah - I get the smell!!! Lighting seems a touch low on background ball, and that tends to make left of frame a little duller. Just doesn't quite feel balanced to me. That said, one of the better entries in the challenge, for me.

Fragranced

A beautiful image and great choice of low lighting overall with spots of light to bring out spray, cleavage and edge of face. Cropped absolutely superbly. Wouldn't change a thing.

A Pure Scent

Beautifully cropped to really highlight the swirling pattern of the petals. Nice composition with the main curve from top to bottom (at the right hand side) formed by the two-three touching petals there. Yellow shadow detail adds depth. Good choie of border though not sure of choice of grey colour for the thicker smudged border element.

A Pinecone In Autumn

Comment:
This definitely conveys that slightly musty pine smell that is so evocative of the season. I like the use of shallow DOF to throw out foreground and background, and like choice of getting in close to subjects.
