Nice DOF. Too many of the images in this competition were just too busy. I like this comp for it's simplicity and elegance. It's well lit, and the background tones don't dominate, but rather compliment the subject well. Well done.

There are elements of this comp that I like alot, including the lighting and the framing. The subject, however seems to me to be a little out of focus, though. Not a bad effort, though.

It's a rather bland composition, IMO. There's not much here to attract the eye, or cause a viewer to go hmm.

Well, this is my first "10". I can't add anything to what this composition doesn't already tell the viewer. It's brilliant in every way. DOF, lighting, the tonal qualities stun me. I love it. Well done.

This comp is interesting in so many ways. It's very strong visually. It's well framed. The lighting and exposure are spot on. The details of the side of the dish are subtle, but add real depth to the image. The tones in this comp are fantastic. Love the dual toned marshmallows. Great subject matter. Awesome DOF. The only things I really don't favor (and they're minor) are the border, and the fact that the chocolate sauce isn't quite smooth and drippy looking enough for me. But, like I said, are these complaints? Hell no, this is a great shot.

This composition doesn't really appeal to me, personally. The plate doesn't compliment the subject, IMO. the background shadow and that wet spot should have been cleaned up. I could do without the spoon.

I do like the exposure and the lighting.

Sizzling Summer Supper

I love all sorts of things about this composition. From the lighting right down to the condiments bleeding out the side and the choice of bun. All these elements really strengthen the image.. The DOF works well for me. Love the strawberry shortcake in the background. It almost gives of a feeling of jealousy towards the hamburger. Great shot.

Love the idea, framing and the wash. Kudos to your model, he seems to fit the role well. Great expression on his face, and the hand in the mouth is great!

Interesting title considering all the other ingredients here ;) There's not much going on for me here. No focal point. Too busy. Poor lighting.
