took me a while to distinguish what was in this shot. I like the blur outside the ring but the inside reflection needs to have a sharper focus, IMHO

Candlelight

composition is very good on this. Like the shadows and light halos. Looks like there is a lot of pixelization though it is hard to tell the quality of the shot because of the size of the picture

This is a really compelling photo to go with the title. The desat of the colour really works well with this one. Good focus and composition.

like the melted candle and clock. Perhaps a shorter DOF to blkur the background more would have improved the imapct of the shot.

Comment:
size of photo makes this difficult to tell what shot is composed of. There is a lot of pixelation and blur to the image. Sorry, not to my taste

Love to see shots like this without any post processing. Just goes to show that composition and timing (as well as a great eye!) can still make awesome photos. Great job!

Some of our favorites from Cambridge

lovely plates, I can understand why they would be favourites. The background and lighting for this shot does not do them justice. The crystal stork (?) would be better viewed with a darker colour behind it that would bring out the features better. The detail on the plates would probably also be more eye-catching with a dark background.

Really like the composition and the colours on the white background. A shraper focus may have improved this shot.

love the concept. The colours may have popped better if you had used a black background. As it is, the white labels and the blue labels tend to blend more into the background and not give it as much definition as it could otherwise have.

good composition of ornaments. You may want to consider ironing your backdrop cloth next time so that the creases don't distract from the subject (expecially when they run between the articles) IMHO
