The Absolut Dad: Always Fun and Drinks Responsibly

I love the honesty of this image. It very much feels like 'a real moment'...but without the title, it in no way makes me think of absolute. The lighting feels a bit harsh- lots of shadows on the table- ground etc.

I'm sooo sorry to see this didn't rank higher. I love the idea! I am, however, a bit distracted by all the bits on the desk- wondering if a cleaner surrounding would have made the idea stronger/ easier for the viewer to absorb?

Gram

I started to comment during voting and since no one else has...
The first thing I notice is that the flowers are artificial. Also, I'm wondering if a brighter light source would have provided you with more contrast seeing as you choose to use blk/wht? Perhaps would have given you more depth. As a viewer- I'm wanting to know the meaning of the tin objects in the lower left- but I can't quite make them out. I do love the title! That's what I called my Gram...

I like the way you used the subject simultaneously as the frame. Nice prop placement.

I will be the first to admit that I'm exhausted with seeing the wooden form on this site... I will try to set my prejudice aside. The layout here leaves the entire top half of the photo just... black. Bringing in the crop focus my attention better. The black confetti also feels... awkward? The subjects feel random- completely different proportions. I have challenges absorbing the overall idea of this pieces

bruschetta

I love the idea here. I would imagine a loaf of unsliced french bread would have completed the concept of bruschetta 'undone' if you will. I dig the tone you chose as well. Perhaps a slightly cleaner background would have lit your subject shine more? I also like the choice of brash lighting here- the shadows are working for me.

Obviously a beautiful shot. It almost looks like a jewelery ad. But the subject matter is not what comes to mind when I think of a 'still life' shot.

Aunt Minnie

This is easy to look at. Has a 'time capsule' feel to it & I like the colour choice here. However, it sort of feels like an image I would see mass produced and hovering over my table at a Chili's- Which is not necessarily a bad thing ;) I do appreciate the decision to have such distinctive shadows- I can almost feel the parallel of time passing over Aunt Minnie's life as the setting sun casts a shadow on her things... well done.

This image feels a little hot to my eye. The contrast of the white of the objects is super stark compared to the black background. Perhaps a softer background tone would be easier for my eye to absorb. The primary shades of red and blue feel out of place with the pastel pallet. I will ignore the polarizing political statement in order to give you a score solely based on the image...you're welcome ;)
