Nice looking cans. ;^) Several things holding this image down; 1) tossed together backdrop is wrinkled and messy looking, 2) the image is flat and really needs some additional contrast added, 3) is the backdrop white? if yes, you need to set the B/W points, and 4) lighting is off or a levels adj is needed - looks underexposed, yet there is light glare on the cans...
Best of luck to you in this and future challenges. |

| Lacks contrast, very muddy. Peas are too dark. Odd color cast. |

| I can tell you put some effort into the planning and staging of this image. First, the image suffers a little from the black and white conversion performed. You did a nice job of keeping the lettering on the cans from blowing out but the image has mostly darks and lights with very little grey in between. If you have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, I would suggest your read Fotomann’s B&W tutorial (Learn menu – Tutorial link). I also think the image would have benefited from a smoother background. This type of photo works well when you use a single piece of poster board or heavy card stock for the base and background. |

| The set up would have been much better had you straightened out the backdrop and perhaps used the same material under your props as well. Not sure about the colour overlay, it definitely washes out any good tonality that may otherwise have scored you extra points here. |

| I like your setup and the cans themselves, but the background is distracting me. There also seems to be a mist or haze over the picture, and I'm wondering if that was intentional. It doesn't completely work for me if it was; I would have been tempted to use levels or curves to bump up the contrast. |

| I find this a little too dark. It's hard to focus on the peas, because you can hardly see them |
