You know, I LOVE the toast...I can't help but feeling the flowers and vase, even with the shallow depth-of-field is too distracting.

Nice picture. I think it would be better if you could see who he is toastin with and that dark area on the bottom left wasn't there. like the blur on the flowers, maybe pull them in a bit more.

crop and focus on the hands and glasses. plus the flowers in the foreground are a big distraction.

The flowers are distracting to me. It also seems there is not enough focus and/or resolution

the fuzzy head in the lower left corner is a huge distraction, the vase cutting through the woman's arm doesn't look right either.

Wow. Too much distraction. Why the roses and the head in the way?

Out of focus items in front are distracting.

This seems to be a snapshot that just about meets the challenge. The head (?) in the bottom left and the vase and flowers are very distracting. The women's dis-embodied arm is almost disturbuing.

Bummer about that head in the lower left as it really takes away from the sweetness of the toast (your main subject). Good concept though. Next time, just politely ask him to duck :-)

The foreground object detract from this otherwise on topic image.

other than the bald head in front to the left blocking the frame ...good shot

I think this would work better if the people making the toast were looking at each other. She doesn't seem to have any connection to him at all, except for her glass. I do not like the head or the flowers in the foreground, and the background seems a little busy.

Mmm, the focus is just off or there isn't enough DOF. The glasses, I realize are the subjecdt, but the man is just too important to the picture. 5
