Ow. Well, I'll admit to being part of the beating you got. I gave it a 4, which is my vote for a good effort that shows some knowledge and effort but still falls short in a major way. The lighting was the biggest problem for this, I think. I also think the shallow DOF was too shallow, and the angle didn't quite suite the composition. Hope that helps.

4.5 makes the soft foreground. The focus is perfectly on the bowl leaving the white eggs? bread and salt too soft.

Focus is too soft; needs a different perspective, imo.

the out of focus pepper is the first thing i saw. not crazy about the shadows on the backdrop...the whole front feels blurry. 5

I think a deeper DOF would have made the vegetables and eggs more in focus, a different perspective would also make the photo pop just a little bit more

everything is very flat and doesn't show dimension at all, if you had built up various parts of the picture (staging them more like a display) then I think this would be more appealing...and your focus is very, very soft

Nice arrangement, but needs greater depth of field. The foreground is out of focus.

ouch, harsh lighting and alot of out of focus areas, which can be good but not in this case. keep working at it!
