| Welcome from the Critique Club: To begin with, for me the title is pretentious. I don't think of Narcissim as 'fancy dress' but rather as an intensely lonely and gapingly empty place constantly rewounded by the effect of others. Technically the image is well-lit, has good texture and color, but the overall composition is stiff and top-heavy. Have you thought of flipping it on its side where, for this viewer, it has more wow factor? It also appears to be able to flex its muscles a bit where it is crowded as it is. I realize that this image placed very well in the Challenge but at the time and on review it didn't grab me quite as much as it did others. As far as fit for the challenge, with the above caveats I think it is an interesting and creative challenge response. |

| Excellent example of still life, but it's just nowhere as good as some of the others. I would try to think more about what the challenge will mean to different people, and then think about what it will mean to you. This would probably be excellent for another challenge, just not this one. |

| Very much like the light reflections on the masher....think the frame is too filled and the composition is weak. |

| Excellent colour and composition. It is so pretty I might want to hang it on the wall and not use it. |
