Critique Club Review:

Color, Saturation and Hue: Colors are bright, and possibly a little over saturated. Hue is realistic.

Brightness and contrast: Image appears to be a little too bright with too much contrast. Some areas of the plate are blown out and featureless, and there are areas on the banana headed that way. Particularly near the bottom of the banana, and the lettuce on the right. The lettuce appears to blend into the plate at bottom center of the leaf. The top of the plate has completely disappeared and cannot be distinguished from the background.

Focus and depth of field: Image feels a bit out of focus. Some of the lettuce may be sharp, if so then it the depth of field is too shallow.

Very imaginative, and made me smile. Try a different backround behind the plate, work on some of the technical details, and I think you have something here that will score a lot higher.

Clever, and with the sideways smile, too! I like the overexposure on the center of the plate. Puts real emphasis on teh expression.

Looks a bit blurry, and the over exposure of the plate and bits of the lettuce are a tad distracting. Nice idea though!

The idea is nice, but there's a lack of focus in there.

Not sharply focused enough, I fear, to score really well.

Also, on my monitor, the top edge of the plate disappears. Could be my settings, though.

Lovely idea on this picture, composition i think is good, some white patches look burnt out to me, above right eye-brow lower right of plate, looks overly bright. Lighting could be better i think ! Nice tho !
