Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that this is a good sharp shot with an interesting choice of items.

Technically this is good. The lighting is good, if a little harsh. It would have been better if it could have been focused more on the tray and less on the whole image. I'm not sure if he bottle in not vertical or if the stripes in the background cause me to think that?

Artistically this is ok. It is a nice combination of items. The background is not a good choice as the stripes tend to stand out against the items a lot. A bit more blur on it would have helped, or less light.

In summary this is a good shot and it earned a respectable score. For only your second challenge you should be pleased.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry

Nice fruit, nice image -- great crisp shot, but might have benefitted from putting the bg just a bit further away to make it more oof (Comment only, no vote)

This is one of my favorites - unique, difficult to capture, well composed and the detail in the tendrils is so amazing!!

This is a very nice image and I like the slight diagonal it creates.

LOL ! Love the title. I really like the shot. Nice details, the lack of crispness works here , 7
