 This photo session did NOT last long. I had 5 hungry, salivating, family members lurking over my shoulder waiting to dive into the potato bowl, meanwhile Kenny here is stuffing his face.
Although many of the out-takes are worth a good laugh.

Funny and original shot. If you ever need help for all of that food, just call me. It looks tasty. Great image!

Greetings from the Critique Club

First of all well done on 11th place.

My first impression of this pic is that it is very busy. I personally found it had too many things to look at and this made it hard to look at.

So, from a compositional point of view, I feel it would have worked better without so many things on the table. The random wine glass doesn't add much to the composition. If you had taken a step to the right, you may have avoided the white curtain and the pitcher that are creeping into the right frame. By doing that you would also have got more of the cello in the background which would, I think have worked well.

To me it looks like it is not really properly focused and that you have used the clarity slider a little bit too much to try to compensate when converting the file (via ACR). If you haven't done this, then I'm sorry, but this is what it looks like to me. I also am seeing a slight yellow colour cast in the image, but that may just be my monitor.

I think you should be pleased with the score you got. Others clearly disagree with my point of view, which is all this is. :)

Regards
Sarah

Do I need glasses (possibly) or is this not quite in focus?

I would drop the hat, lose the beer and the margarine, and iron the shirt. I like how the rolls or whatever that is in the foreground looks. I would have like to have seen more of the cello? in the shot and maybe a little more refined look. Also would have panned to the left some to omit the white curtain in the background.

Damn straight! Just because nobody is coming over shouldn't stop you from having a HUGE feast and eat it all yourself! Right on! :)

those rolls look excellent. Not so sure I'd want you to pass the stuffing.

Good POV and I like the way he's giving the thumb's up ! Is that a cello in the background? After dinner music? ;)
