Giving titles really isn't my thing.

A last minute submission. I wasn't even thinking of entering this challenge until I saw garlic on the kitchen counter. If I had more time I'd fix the out of focus left edge.

Ewww garlic! The dof is good, as is the lighting. Exposure is excellent. Composition is wonderful, and I like the background bulb filling up the space in the background. The texture is good, and the image is nicely sharp where it needs to be. Professional-looking shot, well done.

I smell the garlic in that shot, incredible macro, good lighting. Maybe a little more depth of field would have helped but it's a beauty anyway

Mmm. Garlic.

Although I like the shot as is, for the sake of the topic, I might suggest a cut clove would have conveyed a more intense 'scent' feel. Certainly even uncut cloves have a scent, though, and it's a very appetizing layout you have as is.

IMO, this is the best garlic shot in the challenge. Nice macro, excellent focus on the focal point

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.

Excellent photo. Good aperture choice, good lighting, nice backgroundm wonderful color, nice composition. I think that it isn't as sharp as it could be, but still a good photo.

What happened to your red channel? It's well set up and I like the composition and lighting, but the red, in my opinion, lowers the quailty of the shot.

I know the main point of interest is the clove but the soft focus on the foreground part is disturbing. Good detail and exposure.

Nice use of low DOF and good tight crop into the subject.

Nice macro shot, but garlic doesn't smell much until the clove is crushed.

Great macro. Soft yet it doesn't lose the texture where it needs to be shown.
