The Color of Money

Very well done, but obviously derivative, and why that title given the muted shades here? Yeah, it's kind of green, but the whole world's currency is not that shade necessarily ...

Love the point of view taken here - like an intruder, almost. think I would have prefered it exposed properly for the house, and leaving the trees in silhouette - that sense of exclusion wouldn't be harmed by that, surely?

By far the most intersting portrait so far in this challenge - love the expressions, composition, lighting.

Nice shot. Seems a little tilted though - just a degree or so to the right, and also some perspective distortion - the far right wall tilts more than the corner of the garage. The cat is a nice additional element.

Note for future confused readers of this comment: photo originally titled 'In a pervious existence' - just a typo - but I found a way to correct it :-) after voting.

Garlic

Comment:
Great light - though something odd is happening on the fringes of the shadws - looks almost like spilt blood, but follows the shadow line so much it almost has to be a processing artefact. I think the background garlic is unnecceary for such a simple image. Great work on the texture of the skins though. One thing you have achieved is the closeness necessary to make me think of aroma: when one tries to smell something, one moves closer to it.

Freshly Baked

Did you buy a baking tray just for this shot? And were those cookies really baked on it? It's still very clean ... kind of points up the dirty look of the oven behind them I fear.

Bakeries were one of my thoughts for this too: that yeast smell first thing in the morning :-) Can't decide between liking and not liking the perspective distortion in this image though: it gives the right feeling of closeness, but also the wrong feeling of oddness.

Scented sentiments

Interesting approach. Not convinced the near-ground lamp bowl adds a hell of a lot. There's tonality and texture in the shot - but aroma? I don't know. But then I haven't ever seen a shot that reminded me of a smell yet.

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

Horrible lighting: makes them look like fake cookies. The crumbs are a bizarre inclusion, and the composition (taking up almost exactly half the frame like that) is an odd choice.
