Greetings from the Critique Club
I thought this was a clever concept, I loved the title and thought it very apt for the current times.
I was sorry to see it did not score higher, I believe it was somewhat under rated. I can only assume that you got hit with some DNMC voters who thought it didn't represent a Feast as such. (Reading the comments below would indicate to me that some may have missed the irony in this shot, which is a pity, whereas others clearly go it).
I do find the blue water glass a little distracting, largely I think due to the colour, a non-coloured glass may have worked better. I liked the flower on the plate and felt it blended well with the olive. I thought this was a well exposed shot but the composition could have been improved a bit, as someone suggested, moving the olive a little to the right may have helped, as would either removing the water glass completely or using a different one.
Overall a clever, well excecuted image which I felt should have scored higher than it did. (I gave it a 6 btw).
Hope this was a little bit helpful.
Sarah

| If you had moved the olive over to the right just slightly so there were some white between it and the flower on the plate I think it might have been just a little bit better. However, I like it anyway. |

| Nice colors and lighting. Depends on who's eating that olive, but I guess I could see a feast. |

| I'd have preferred it without the blue glass (which I find very distracting). Very good title. |

| Great shot with great color. The picture flows from table design to plate design to olive to fork. I am not onboard with the feast part, but I do have a justification for it. This may or may not have been your intention, but I think that you could justify it by saying that the olive is a feast for the flower that looks as though it is about to consume it. |
