Hi Stan,
Looks as if you got caught out in no-mans land here. I think the combination of the high iso, all the PPing & the crop left you with lots of nosie. It also seems to be a bit out of focus. The background greens are nice but the white is a bit of a distraction. Not sure why so high on the iso, I am assuming it was windy., and overall I think there was way to much PPing for this subject. What I do like is the fact you where able to get a real nice range of colors in the greens.

I agree with your statement but photo looks like it has been extensively cropped causing detail loss and artifacts within the picture.

Composition doesn't add any power to the image.

I really like the shallow DOF and yummy bokeh. Those things will be ready to eat before you know it.

I totally agree with the sentiment. however your PP seems to have killed the focus and details of the toms.

lovely sentiment here- and I can appreciate what the image is trying to say - i just worry about the connection to the challenge without the title

in addition, the softness of the image does not seem to work for me

Nothing in focus, unfortunately

I like the subtle use of many colors of green- emerald, jade, jenkins, hooker, kelly, lime the list goes on. super nice work- good composition too.
