Post processing was mostly in contrast, some high pass and crop

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I really like the texture of the paper thin garlic skins. I love the natural light here and the focus is spot on. Given that it was an advanced editing challenge, I would have done some dodging of the shadows in the top left.

For me, garlic seem to take over the shot. I think for an Oil challenge, I would have liked to see more emphasis on oil in the picture -- shooting from a lower angle might have worked better here. The texture in the cloth is a little distracting as well as dried up garlic stick. Composition seems a little unbalanced for me -- I would have liked to see it in a tighter crop.

I hope this helps. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Jæja gaf þér 6, fín mynd, fínir tónar í henni og ágætis lýsing. Vantaði bara eitthvað "umph" til að fólk færi að gefa þér hærri einkun en þetta er fín mynd, gæti vel verið t.d. millikaflamynd í matreiðslubók!
