"A Taste of Honey"by
freakin_hilariousComment by amber: Hi from the Critique Club!
There is something really appealing about honey running off spoons, I think we can all associate it with childhood and feelings of home and security.
First of all the background;It's a nice mixture of muted colours, but there is blue line running from the top to the spoon handle that is quite distracting, it keeps pulling my eye away from the main focus. A plainer or darker background would obviously overcome this, but would also alter the whole feel of the image.
Ignoring the blue line, the eye is led into the image via the handle, moves down to that wonderful honey in the bowl of the spoon, and then we are led out the image via the lovely funnel of liquid. This creates lovely movement.
To be picky I find the blue line of honey being poured from above and the blob it makes a little distracting too. With just the honey dripping of the spoon alone, the image would have been cleaner and crisper and I think you would have scored even higher...but as I said I'm being picky;)
The golden orange colour of the honey contrasts well against the blue cast on the spoon and the 'funnel'. And the bubbles in the clear liquid give the image depth and texture.
A yummy image:))
