Death Of A Cucumber, Birth Of A Salad

---Greetings from the Critique Club!---

First impression - Color correction badly needed.

The yellow cast distracts from the image. It looks like the white balance was set for daylight (5500) and the shot was taken with tungsten lighting (3200). However it was shot this could have been corrected in post processing.

Composition - the bowl on the right doesn't bother me as much as some of the commenters. I think the composition would be improved if the hands and knife and cucumber were moved down in the frame. This would give more of a sense of a downward movement. (IMO, of course)

The concept here is very creative. A little more attention to the composition and the color balance would have garnered a higher score.

Cluttered composition. No focal point for the eye to rest on.

Good idea, beautiful colours. I think that the centred composition doesn't work all that well here. Maybe you can try a more to the side composition, possibly a bit less busy. What kind of flower is this? I don't think I've ever seen one like it. (6)
