| Very good choice. One of the best pictures. I am sure will do good. No much time until I find out anyway. 10 from me. |

| I can almost taste (and smell) the cinnamon. What are the brown beans or berries that the spices are resting on? |

| The composition is wonderful but the light could be improved. Perhaps if the photo was a little darker with more shadows it would get more appeal. |

| Jeez you went through a lot for this, but the composition is weak because of the centering of th curry powder....otherwise wonderful |

| Great set up. I like the FG is focused and the BG is not. Very nice |

| I love the gold and brown tones in this one... also the textures. Would be better without the brighter light at the top of the photo. |

Good idea and setup. I like the setup and use of shallow dof. Good lighting, without highlight blowouts, yet I think that a slight underexposure might make it a bit better.
I might also crop it a bit tighter, but your border choice already helps to get into the scene.
Nice toning. 8 |

| Very good lighting and shot. I like this in general, butit seems like it still needs something else for more pop. I am not sure, maybe another contrasting color in there? |

| Fantastic backdrop. I think even warmer colors and lower lighting could have helped. |

| Really masterful use of dof. The colors are inviting as is the composition and lighting. There's something about the cinnamon that doesn't look right. The shadows? The height? Maybe if they were laying down they would look better. I don't usually notice the borders, but this one I did and I think, in my opinion, it detracts. |

Beautiful!
What a lot of black pepper you have!
Nice colours, nice composition, lighting OK, border supportive rather than competing for attention.
I like this very much. |

| Contrived and the background suffers from a DOF problem. Good exposure on the bowl of spices |

| I like the contrasts in textures between the granular, "sticks", and powder forms. The colors blend really well resulting in a very 'warm' view...excellent! |

Very nice, I can smell them now. Makes me hungry! I like the border it's very effective. Good DOF. The composition works, in a non-tradiitional sort of way.

| Love it. This has a very 3D feel to it with the sticks (or whateever they are called) and powder so crisply done. |

| The cinamon sticks standing up like that just doesnt seem very natural to me. Having them more haphazard may have helped a little. I like the background, although not sure what it is. It adds to the earthy tone of the photograph. The colors are nice and rich and warm, and the border is complimentary. Having the bowl of spice in the center of the frame loses an impact, I think. Playing around with the placement of the sticks and the bowl could have made this good photograph even more dramatic. |
