The grain is somewhat distracting. The idea is quite nice.

An emotive image, especially since the grave seems to be overrun. Fits the challenge well. Use of natural light is good as is the focus. Nice work. 7

I like the arrangement of the letters but it's a bit grainy unfortunatly.

The neon green looking border does not work well with this serious feeling photo...would be much better without it.

I like your still life set-up here. There is a nice balance to the composition, and a variety of colors and textures that are quite inviting. I enjoy the soft look to things, too. You do have some harsh highlights and shadows though, that if eliminated would enhance the old world softness I see elsewhere. You can perhaps use more diffused light, or even go outside on a bright day and take the shot in solid shade: you'll get bright light, soft shadows and be much more able to manipulate things. Anyway, nice work and good luck!

The idea is very good, but the lighting could have been better. The cheese (or I think that's what it is) is too washed out looking, the garlic is hardly discernable as such, and the mushrooms look unclear.

Very nice presentation. Lighting is a little harsh in the lower right corner and those images there are somewhat out of focus. Good effort and meets the challenge.
