perhaps a little small to judge properly...you should save at 640px and not 446. Lighting is a bit harsh from the flash.

Nice. Maybe less like from the lamp. The candle light might pop a little then. i like it.

The problem here is the subject material is actually quite boring. There are other issues too, but the subject is the BIGGIE. Sorry 3.

Nice looking cans. ;^) Several things holding this image down; 1) tossed together backdrop is wrinkled and messy looking, 2) the image is flat and really needs some additional contrast added, 3) is the backdrop white? if yes, you need to set the B/W points, and 4) lighting is off or a levels adj is needed - looks underexposed, yet there is light glare on the cans...

Best of luck to you in this and future challenges.

Lacks contrast, very muddy. Peas are too dark. Odd color cast.

I can tell you put some effort into the planning and staging of this image. First, the image suffers a little from the black and white conversion performed. You did a nice job of keeping the lettering on the cans from blowing out but the image has mostly darks and lights with very little grey in between. If you have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, I would suggest your read Fotomann’s B&W tutorial (Learn menu – Tutorial link). I also think the image would have benefited from a smoother background. This type of photo works well when you use a single piece of poster board or heavy card stock for the base and background.

The set up would have been much better had you straightened out the backdrop and perhaps used the same material under your props as well. Not sure about the colour overlay, it definitely washes out any good tonality that may otherwise have scored you extra points here.
