LOL! This made me laugh. Such a good idea. Looks like a commercial for Aqua Fresh. Great setup and spotlight. A+! I give it a 10.

What a team!!

Great detail on the cookies but the lighting on the left side of the glass is a bit bright and harsh.

Squirrels and Trees

Very cute! I wish I could get a picture of squirrels but they move quickly and hate to stay put for long.

Dubliner Cheese with Cabernet Sauvignon

Nice composition but this entry is plagued by lots of compression. Image is quite grainy. This is caused by high ISO settings or too much compression to fit file size in your photo-editing application. Most likely the first reason.

Salt and Pepper

Very creative! Cropping seems to be fairly even just by eyeballing it. Colors of the pepper look nice and clean. Salt crystals are white and detailed. The only thing I can complain about is the entire edge of the yin yang design. It appears that this was selected off a different background (obvious, I know) but the part I'm talking about is the sharp edge between the salt and pepper and it's very "edgy". If you applied a light feather to that and then slapped it on the background, it might look more natural and less edgy. Overall, an excellent entry. 8.

Whisky and a Glass (of any kind)

AMAZING! I love how you can see only half of the glass. The glass beads/stones are a nice touch. I also like the spotlight by the Maker's Mark bottle. Very clean and extremely detailed. But that last bit is also your downfall. There's too much detail in the glass as I can see some background reflected in it. If that was not there, I'd rate this a 10. I wish there were half points cause then I'd give you 9.5 but I cannot so you get a 9. Great job!

Great POV, lighting, focus and detail. The DOF works well with the chopsitcks. My faults with this are the shadows at the top and the dark spot in the lower left. If those were not in the picture I'd rate this very high.

Salt & Pepper

Neat salt and papper shakers. I like the reflections on them and that they do not reveal much of their environment (room photographer etc). The duotone/sepia also works amazingly well.

Fork & Knife

Comment:
Incredible lighting effects make the utensils appear to glow (or maybe it's just some dodging effects that are responsible). The reflections of the tines in the knife make the fork look complete. I wish that more of the subject was in focus.
