Greetings from the Critique Club!
This photo expresses the essence of Cracker Jack: caramel popcorn and a surprise from a box. (Peanuts are missing, but there are never enough of those in Cracker Jack anyway!) The composition works well; the surprise is the center of interest as you intended, and the popcorn and box support it well. The lighting is good, casting nice soft shadows; spotlighting the surprise was a good idea. The background is perfect, using a slightly warmer white than the whites on the subject help the latter stand out.
Overall a great photo. But it seems just a bit muted; I think a small contrast boost would help add some impact. |

These days it would be a tattoo or a little sticker, they don't pack much of a surprise anymore. This is a good shot overall but the cracker jacks seems a bit over sharp and where are those peanuts? That's the best part! :)
The white background is a good choice but seems a bit blown out on the right hand side. Started with a 6, going to an 8 |

| Okay, so the label says there's a surprise inside... that is supposed to convey the feeling of surprise?!? Technically fine photo, but the idea leaves me stone cold. 3 |

| The shot is well composed. Nice light. I would have expected something other than the obvious prize that comes in the box but it still is a surprise. |

| Great job-- I had this idea and then forgot to go buy the cracker jacks. However, you did it much better than I would have. This is an excellent shot. Good luck. |
