		| | Congratulations on the Blue - I thought that it would end up somewhere there. 
 My thought - and others' too, from skimming the comments - was that this is reminescent of those postcards. You can find the kind I'm talking about on www.nouvellesimages.com if you dig around enough. They usually have a Frnech/English title.

		| | oh - I like this one - and hope it does well - it's not like the others and has it's own originality - good idea laying everything out like this - the composition is very nice, great lighting, overall great quality - and I can see it as a print in a nice restaurant - good job :) |

		| | This is one of the few images in these two challenges that I think a stroke/border works for. Nice image. The colors seem to be weighted to the right side.  Switch the spatula with the yellow pepper & tomatoes. My eye keeps going to the yellow... |

		| | Very professional - reminiscent of many postcards and posters I have seen along similar lines. (I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I don't think everything under the sun has to be a unique new idea in order to be appealing). I think you've made a great job - lighting works, clean background works and layout works very well. |
