I like this composition a lot. I think slightly less light or a lower exposure in some capacity would have made it even better.

Very stark. I think the white areas on the teapot work but I don't like the glare in the black area at the bottom of the frame.

I like the old photo effect on this. The turquoise screams '60s to me. I remember this being the color that seemed to be "in" when I was a little kid.

I really like this!! Nice and dramatic, altho seems very high in contrast to the point there's hot spots that's why I will give 9 and not a 10 =p

I think its too centered and may have been more interesting if it was illuminated from the side.

The blowouts and the reflections are too distracting.
