I gave this an 8. Really liked the concept - difficult given the colorings, however just wish the blacks were bolder/more 'depth', if that makes sense. Perhaps a variation in lighting, not sure. Also, just a little sharper on the olives/texture(s).

Very nice for black on black! That's a difficult idea to handle.

This is a tough one. I want to say it's too dark, but then the subject is dark so it needs to be. Hmmm. The composition is fine. I wish you could have gotten that back olive in focus with a deeper aperture. Light green olives might have been a better choice?

Your lighting here is lovely, well done!...however, something a little more interesting could have been done with the background.

I never thought someone could find emotion in black olives... but it really looks like you've done it. The openings really look like mouths almost crying for help and the water droplets, in this vein, look like sweat.

Or maybe I'm just crazy...
