Cheesy and Crunchy - Orange on Blue
by StevePax

Comment:
I like this the depth of focus it is near perfect... but for the second cheese thing from the bottom it seems to be to close, moved back half an inch it would be fine (or just USM it a bit)
it is great how you picked up the weave in the table cloth
and as the others have said great use of color and composition

this is my only 10 for this challenge
I keep looking at it to give constructive advice.... but there is nothing I would change
after one last look before I send this...
if you burnt the sky and it is not natural.... maybe slightly darker top right and lighter at the left above the horrizon but only a 10 deg change in the fade line if that.... sky just seems slighly out of balance?

this photo should have focused on the people not the words in the mirror
maybe if you zoomed out to show the complete mirror and some of the scene behind it withthe background out of focus

I gave this a 10
maybe if you had done a poor job more people would have believed it and you would have scored higher
bad luck should have been much higher

maybe you could crop 1/3 of the black area off the bottom my eye tends to be drawn to it looking for detail when it should be on the horizon / sky

the title makes this fit the theme, without it people would be left wondering

good shot with great composition
but the color and old stile font of the cards distracts from the crispness of the rest of the photo maybe a new modern deck would have looked better - 8

I like this one
the only problem seems to be that the reflection is washed out, maybe there is to much general light in the front
I think if you crop the the reflection out at the start of the alcohol and reduce the white space at the top to balance the new reflection you would end up with a much bolder picture - 8

nice photo I like the colors
crop out the boat on the left to give it an old world feel
clone out the three spots in the sky and small white cap in the forground they are distracting - great job
