Spice Bowls

I like the idea here a lot - showing the different textures in the containers. but I think the execution could be improved. the simple plastic bowls aren't very attractive, the background is bland and the crop is poor. If you had, for example, lined up the bowls carefully and cropped so that each had exactly 1/4 of the bowl in each corner, it would have provided more visual punch.

very well done. I love the swirls of color and the texture and shape of the liquid.

nice texure and composition. the bowl's highlights are slightly blown out, but it's a nice composition overall.

I think this was a good subject but would have been more interesting cropped in tighter to focus on the and patterns and the flower.

I like the lighting a lot, but not the color cast. The hot spot on his cheek and around his eye is somewhat distracting too.

interesting lighting and point of view. she seems a bit underexposed. also, I wish her foot wasn't cropped off

The Oracle

Comment:
I love the lighting and the sharpness here, but there are several things that bother me about this image - her hands look unnaturally huge, and her leg that is in the foreground looks uncomfortable. I would prefer that she was gazing into the "oracle" or looking more directly into the camera - as it is, she looks half asleep.

this would have been great if the camera was positioned lower, so that the silouette of the fisherman was not lost amid the treeline. still a nice image, but could have been better

I think it would have been a good idea to crop out the object on the left
