Sorry I didn't comment on the image earlier, I was just being a dork. For me, I think the chin should be down more for one. Also, when I think spicy I think chili peppers, so maybe instead of greens and browns, if the flakes where yellow, red, and orange I think it would have really set the 'spicy' feel. Also, the thumb doesn't have the greatest appeal. At first I looked at it and thought icky, but than thought maybe it was freckles. as I opened to the larger view I saw something else.
Well these are my two cents for what they are worth. |

| in response to your critique request, i think the main reason for the low score was that it lacks a range of colors, there arent any colors that pop, it could also stand a little more contrast, nonetheless, a nice shot, and dont let voters offend you about your work, if you like it, then dont worry what others think |

hmmm....I gave this a 4, so I should comment. I think for me, the technical quality is fine. Focus, lighting, DOF, etc, are all good. I might have cropped off the dark stuff on the right side, but that's personal opinion. Usually, if the technicals are all in place, I would give an image at least a 6, but I think when I saw this, I instantly went, ewww...ick, gave it a 4, and moved on to the next photo before I could really look at it closely. So there you have it for me...

I feel that more depth of field by using a smaller aperture would have made a difference. The DPC voters seem to like everything being sharp. Another improvment would have been to do something with the lower right corner, where there is something, which I assume is a shoulder strap, that distracts from the primary subject, the lips. A piece of light or dark cloth on the shoulder and up to the side of the face would have eliminated that area, or maybe a little closer in with the camera.
A little makeup (lipstick) for a dash of color and a title to draw attention to the lips, and hint of action, like "Spicy Kiss" may have helped a little too.
I am not exactly sure what you did to get the image, I am guessing that it is your face in a bowl?
It is a great concept shot which just needed for the original to lead to a carefully planned reshoot.
That is the worst that I can do with it. I hope that you are not offended.
Don't take all this too seriously, as I seem to not know what I am doing according to the below 5's on my two current challenge images. : ) |

| WHAT!?!?!? How did this get below a 5?? I'm stumped. This is gorgeous and creative, and completely fills the frame. I had given you an 8. It's lovely. |
