The season's scents

Is that plexiglass? It's a cute idea and the composition is good. The white marks/reflections are a little distracting but not overly so. I'm not sure if it needs a tad more sharpness or contrast. The bright light from the top right makes the background a little uneven and forces some shadows that are a little noisy. An additional light in the bottom right may have helped a little.

Scent of a Woman

The idea is good, compositionally it's good too. The downfall of this photo is the lighting. It seems a little dark and there is some noise on the white. I'm guessing this was partly to do with keeping down the amount of light reflections in the bottles. Most perfume shots are flooded with light and the backgrounds are very white. The dark corners/edges are where it is most noticeable. The only way I see to improve that is to use more lighting from more than one angle or perhaps trying to utilise natural light. This has the potential for being a good shot.

Chocolate Chip Cookies. . . . fresh out of the oven.

I could maybe see that you left the negative space above the cookies to allow for the presence of the smell to waft upwards, however, photogenically it doesnt really do much. There is a little too much space at the top and very little at the bottom. It's good that you got in close to the subject but you needed to go all the way or else back up some. The lighting is good and the image is sharp, just needed some work on the composition, I think.

Fresh Mountain Pine: Take a BIG Whiff

Hrm, looks like an amusement park ride. I think because of that any mountainous scent is a little lost. It's an ok shot but doesnt quite fool the senses to imagine being in a mountain, just the memories of cotton candy and popcorn.

Some bases of Curry

The cinamon sticks standing up like that just doesnt seem very natural to me. Having them more haphazard may have helped a little. I like the background, although not sure what it is. It adds to the earthy tone of the photograph. The colors are nice and rich and warm, and the border is complimentary. Having the bowl of spice in the center of the frame loses an impact, I think. Playing around with the placement of the sticks and the bowl could have made this good photograph even more dramatic.

Lotus fragrance

I like that you've used the entire frame for the shot. The black background makes everything stand out nicely. The purple smoke is interesting and fairly well lit. The burner only has a very small section on the top where the light seems a little too bright but it's not very distracting. I'm not sure about the border. At the bottom the golden color matches the burner, but around by the purple smoke it draws attention away from it a little.

First thing I notice is that the image is far too small. You have 640 pixels on the longest side and often it's best to use them. Something so small makes it more difficult to see the image. If you're not sure how to resize the image down to 640 using your editing software you could always post on the forum and I'm sure someone could help you out. The image itself is ok for what I can see, but it doesnt really do much else.

Morning Coffee
by Artifacts

Comment:
Now that's some steaming hot coffee. I really like the swirl of the one smoke curl near the top, it's kinda cute. Not a fan of the composition, tho. Why did you decide to crop the bottom of the glass or the coffee pot? The smoke is good, the background is good, the glass is sharp and clear with not too many light reflections, it's just the crop that doesnt do much for it.

Dim Bulb

I love the tone of this! I'm curious to see what type of background you used, or whether it is just the mix of light, duotone, and contrast. The image is so sharp as well, very clear. There are far too many things I like about this. Certainly my fav so far.

Stop and Smell the Roses

I feel this should have even been a close up shot or probably vertical. There is a lot of empty space on the sides and yet the top of the bouquet has been cropped. Cropping off some flowers is sometimes ok if you have it full frame and there is cropping on all sides, but because this is only at the top I feel it has a severed feeling. The mix of pinks and reds on the flower are good, lighting is good with nothing blown or too dark. The connection to the phrase is good. Only thing letting it down is I think it really needed to be a vertical shot.
