I will be interested in seeing your shutter speed on this one - how you managed to capture dots of light rather than streams. Excellent timing!

Greetings from the Critique Club.
Interesting photo. I really like the style of your photography, you have an alternative aproach that is quite refreshing.

This is a good example of Bokeh, but did not score well with the voters, why?
The idea of having the jar of PB in the background as the Bokeh is good but just doesn't quite work. I think that perhaps in the few seconds that each voter takes to view a shot they would miss this and see a background that looks a little 'busy' this is a shame as you certainly embraced the challenge and as some voters point out Kudos for bucking the obvious route of birds and flowers!

Minor niggles are that the bread is slightly over exposed and the tray pattern is unnecessary and a little distracting. Perhaps including the whole sandwhich and making the ingedients a little more obvious would help.

Overall I like it and I like your other entries (especially the green cocktail) keep up the great work and don't let anyone tell you what to do... you have a nice style and good eye for a picture.

Regards
