Chewing-gum vs garlic. Mint fighting the odor...

A good try "to be social again" after enjoying remedial but repellent garlic.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

There are lots of good things to say about this image. I like your lighting - the shadows resulting from a single light-source are very pleasing. The shadow of your hand is making an accusatory gesture to the garlic. The composition is well thought-out. The color Red is a great contrast against the gum.

A couple of very minor issues: As you know, your garlic is just a tad bright - not enough to hurt your image, though. The major problem I had was not being able to tell what that thing was resting on your finger until I read your comments. At first, I thought maybe it was a vitamin supplement for garlic, and this was a poster advertising the health benefits of garlic pills, free from the smelly breath. Anyway, all around good shot!

Wonderful image. Very clear with good composition. There is just a hint of propaganda here and if I stretch my mind far enough I can see it. So I vote a 10.

It feels more like advertising....

Excellent! Greatly composed. Too bad we could add text for this challenge, otherwise it would be perfect propaganda.

Well done!! Both the image (I LOVE that red, fading to dark red at the top) and the message. This is excellent... Did you think of the idea yourself or get it from somewhere? 9.

I prefer the solution straight out of my garden.

I like the way you use your background choices!

I would bet that you took a lot of images to get your lighting right so as to not be too hot on the garlic. You did very well for using a single light source. The gradient in the background is pleasing to the image. 7 -danny

nice shot, but the title should be more propagandistic ... this title sound too 'commercial' ...

Made me smile - nice photo too!

Well done! So crisp and clear... Good DOF too... I think the comment is more as a homework to me than as a helpful hint to you as I am sure you know better what you did right here. Publicitar propaganda is propaganda too so... 10. I haven't seen all the photos yet but this one might be the blue ribbon. Or at least one of the ribbons. Good luck! 10 from me.
