If you use Lightroom, you can make it save two different copies of your images when uploading them to your computer.

What was it scoring? And why was this being asked to be validated?

Wait, I see it now, the border that looks like a vignette most probably. Tough luck. It was a nice shot except for that highlight on the bg.

Nicely composed but the lighting needs softening and evening out.

Oh yeah, I'll have me one of those please :) The background's not so appealing though. Maybe moving it a bit further away would have been better?

Looks tasty, nice presentation and overall tone. Flash/light is too harsh and removed the depth of the bottle neck. I say give this another go with improved lighting and a little more space between the subject and background. Ahh, one last thing, your arrangement screams for a sharp flower, so more DOF would improve the subjects. Just an FYI, you may get called out for the border. I'm off to have a coffee! ;)

i like the setup, but the wall is distracting with the light glare off of it. not sure what the flower has to do with it though. may have just been added for decoration though. so overall, a nice job

First thing that hits me? The tilt to the left.
