"A validation request? You must be kidding"
You must underestimate your skills - evidently someone thought this shot was unbelievably good! If I were going to question anything about this image it would be the vibrance +10. To create an image with such rich, saturated colors with just a +10 to vibrance is fantastic. These are the colors that inspire the feelings that make us feel warm, rich and full. These are the colors that we spend a lifetime learning how to create with a camera.
If I were going to critique anything about this image, it would not be the editing. It's exceptionally obvious to me that no advanced editing was done because the specular highlights (or hot spots to be more accurate) detract significantly from the overall image quality; the eye is attracted to bright colors and unfortunately, even though the image is spectacularly vivid, the white hot spots are more eye-catching as viewed from a computer screen. All of the colors are very enjoyable except the white. With no soft light, no advanced editing, and no ingenuity to create either of the above, this image is absolutely as good as it could be. Love it. |

I really thought you were gonna score much higher with this one. But hey, I am not complaining. ;)
So how about a little side goal to reach beyond just getting ahead of each other. My eye is set on 2nd place this year. I have this desire to get in between this relationship that scalvert and irenem have had a hold on for so long. Think either of us can make it by Dec 31, 2011? |

| Wonderfully done. I don't think I would have ever thought to put these brilliant cups on a bed of beans, but it sure works well. |

| Although I usually like mid-range focus, in this picture I think the focus would have been better suited to foreground. That said, I love the colors and composition! 6 |
