Greetings form the Critique Club
You have a fine and funny image here and your score reflects that. Good to see some humor among the entries.
Eschelar has given you a better critique than I can, so I'll just mention one or two things that struck me as I examined your image with considerable care. Something is wrong where the "snow" comes up to meet the bag of sugar. Whether you were supporting the "snow" with torn paper, or something else, the edge just isn't smooth. I realize you couldn't feather it because of Basic rules...
And to be really picky,the shadow of the snowman just behind that torn edge is a bit strong.
But the story you tell is a good one and comes through nicely through your very good photography.
I wish you continued success in your DPC experience. |

Really well done there.
Praise: Creativity... Reflection in the coffee mug - outstanding... Lighting - meow. Sugar on the runners of the sled give it a "used" look.
Criticism:
Missed a spot just behind the bag of sugar. I assume you saw that before.
Would have been nice if you could have lit this to highlight a few more shadows and provide a bit more depth in the sugar snow. Particularly to bring out a "snow angel" made by the one human bean.
The snow angel could have been brought out a little more also by using something to create rifts. You can sometimes make sugar stick together by using moist air and dry air. That's getting pretty tricky though. This isn't a major issue, it could just be lying there. I've done it (in snow, not sugar)
The snowman comes in a bit of a different colour. I wonder if you tried making it more snowmanlike by rolling it around in the sugar. You might have considered adding some white flour or baking soda to the mix as well if you were having problems with making stuff stick to the balls of styrofoam.
Super idea guy! I wish I was that creative :) |

| This is funny. Good job getting creative with this challenge. At least this is different than most all other entries here. High score for creativity alone. |

how fun! a groovy still-life (i always suspected something like that was going on after-hours...) : )
there's something about the bean person making the sugar angel that isn't coming through as well as the rest of the picture for me. i think it may be because the snowman maker is rich and glossy looking, and the one lying down looks duller in comparison? i adore this composition, and think it would make a great holiday card for someone's local coffee house! |

| You definitely followed the instructions to let your imagination run wild! This is so clever, really the most entertaining entry I saw. The snow angel thing kills me. I admire your creativity. My favorite of the challenge. |

| This is fun and cute and all, but not at all something you'd see in a coffee shop (realistically speaking, but then. hmmmmm who knows what happens after hours). No, seriously. This is way too busy. Your eye doesn't have a place to rest. I say take away some of the props and try a simpler version. The clarity is there. The originality is definitely there. |
