Getting ready for a great BBQ

This is a very clean set-up, but I find the reflection distracting because it is pretty detailed and one of the brightest spots in the image.

I wish the light had come from the other side so the back of the book wouldn't be so bright. Such a large bright spot is pretty distracting.

I love the dramatic lighting. It perfectly matches the mood of image. I'm not sure the title helps though.

I fail to see how toy help this image in any way.

The background of this image should be white, but it's not. It's middle gray. That makes the image look dingy, which it not what you probably want to convey with wine and hearts. Some sharpening could also go a long way with this image.

I wish the background matched the subject matter better. Why would you put an expensive piece of electronics on the floor? A white background would have been cleaner and would have made more sense than a floor.

Journey in time

It looks like his one might have been handhold, which caused some camera shake. If you had used a tripod and/or sharpened more, the blur of the turning pages would have stood out more, emphasizing the passing of time.

The light also doesn't suit this very well. There is a bright spot in the upper right of the frame, which draws the eye because it is the lightest part of the image. The title and the weathered look of the book make me wish you had gone further with the "old" feel of the image, maybe by lighting it with a candle or some other more "dramatic" type lighting.

I love the painterly feeling of this. The colors are gorgeous and her expression is intriguing.

Is that really an American flag on top of the bridge or is it just a trick or the long exposure?

Either way, congrats!

Nice perspective on a beautiful building. I wish there were some more whites in the image. Most of the shades are greys and blacks.
