perhaps using a more contrasting background would have made the carrot stand out more and appear crisper (no pun intended! :) around the edges.

This is an example of photography 101 ignored. If you are going to ignore all the rules, you better have a good reason. First, don't center the subject in the frame. Second, light the subject properly to create a mood or to express an emotion. Third, well, don't photograph sweaty carrots made of icing and call it art...cuz it ain't.

clean picture, not a very interesting composition

Stark, simple, beautiful. Would probably have more interest if it were offcenter and maybe arranged in a diagonal fashion. But still, it is a very well thought of entry to the challenge.

Its orange but the composition lacks appeal... its too centered and the contrast is too high. Good effort though!

Nice plain background. However: subject is centered which is uninteresting, the lighting is harsh, and there is nothing to make me want to score this highly at all. Score: 2

HAHA I like this lonely carrot
he looks very honest but a bit shy
10 (seriously)

Think the image would benifit from a tighter crop

is this a photo?!

no composition ... just a candy

Here the rule of thirds would of helped your shot......dead center is not working. Also check your levels with Photoshop or in your camera...the background is blueish.

very blah compositon -- how to add drama is the big question for you. possibly short DOF, angle the carrot in the frame, shoot it in context (the texture of cake icing would add a lot of interest).
