 Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's in laws. Remains of 4 of the many more bottles of wine and 2 of the 3 desserts.

Post: Low light lotta noise. Went goofy with the processing but it needed it. Camera Raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue saturation. Spot edit glare on the bottls and the apple. Ran throught neat image. Adjust sharpness. Layer of high pass soft light opacity. Dup layer and soft light opacity. Clatify in PSPX. Rab snudge if Buxx Simplifier no. 1. USM. Crops. Resize. USM. In short....it's over processed. Judging by the number of entries if might get the brown!

This is a perfect 10 in my book. If it doesn't get a ribbon I will eat my hat. Very nicely done :) (Just in case though, It Might be a Good thing I don't wear hats)

Somehow the whole image seems a bit unnaturally soft to me.

This would have been a great shot if it had been in focus a little more. There are a lot of yellows competing with each other so maybe bringing out the green would have popped it a little more

I think the blacks are a little too done but this is nicely composed.

You've got a slight colour cast here, and it seems very dark, but I like your subject matter

This is the kind of feast I like! It looks oversharpened though

Off color and too contrasty. This could be a lot better in bw with less aggressive processing.

The processing appeals to me.

I would like to have seen a bit more focus

You really should cut your camera off after one glass of wine. It looks like it's having trouble focusing. ;)

Be reasonable! There would be no wine or cake left, maybe just the apple. :)

Focus seems to be an issue here. There are so many items in your shot, and my eyes are not drawn to anything. It seems cluttered.
