could use a bit of straightening...either more off angle or straight horizon

I might have chosen a different angle for this to make it really stand out...the salad looks good though

As if I even had to guess?!?...of course! and about the ears...looks good to me, helps the head from blending into the dark...well done, again

very nice, creative and well executed...

Author, please remove the border, and can we see a hi-rez? Please refer to http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/photography/ 6.23

Thank you author...very nice colors

if this is what's in your fridge...I'd love to see the freezer! LOL

Author...are these selectively colored??? and can we see a hi-rez please? very interesting photo...

Very creative thinking and well done

A dog bite is a "favorite thing" of yours author?? The song says "when the dog bites, when the bee stings; when I'm feeling sad...I simply remember my favorite things..." A dog bite is not one of the "favorite things"

congrats on your third place, well done

Congrats on your second place, a great shot

Congrats on your first place, well deserved!

Funny thing...I just bought last year's model!?! Cute idea though...

Agree W/ friiskiwi, very similar...

Wonderful thinking here...very nice indeed, good execution.

very nice and clear macro, nicely done author

It appears to be a bull....cows normally have teat's?!?

good thinking here and nicely done...another "wish I'd thought of that first " situations....

great lighting, good idea and execution...

good comp and detail. nicely done

I have to ask....the Mento's thing??? Never tried it...looks great, nicely done

wonderful clarity and set-up, great work author

Yepper...can of worms indeed...I'm placing an order for 55 gallons of lighter fluid and some of those little magic flash tissues as we speak...LOL!!!

Funny man...real funny! Great shot! Turn about is more than fair play...

A Pair of Nikons?!?...

Great set up and thinking author...top job!

nicely done, very creative light-painting shot!

clever and well composed, great entry!

slightly off kilter works for me here IMO...finding perfection in the imperfect as it were...great lighting, clear subject...nicely done author

Great author! nicely done, great clear image...what lens did you use if I can ask???

agree...a bit of cropping is needed....Too bad I didn't think of this first! nicely done

nicely done, good comp and great low speed shot...nice detail in the shadows

Where was this taken...it looks familiar, the scene, not the capture...very nice low light photo

IMO - this is much better author....more color and detail back into it, dramatic, but not overly darkened as the other, well done

Darling...sweetie??? Whoa Fellas...umm yea...take it easy!

phenomenal...need i say more???

nice color and detail, great entry

nice colors and eerie shape, well done

I think you over adjusted...Other than the minor noise issue...I actually preferred the original, the color and detail really made it stand out author..I'm not so certain about the adjusted one here...perhaps a happy medium?

guess I missed something?!?...@ Author...what a great capture of those eyes! great lighting...nicely done

personally, I have to agree w/ Ade...a bit more contrast between the light and shadow on the subject might have really made this one "POP" as it were...great subject though

another great entry...glad I sat this one out! "picture-perfect" portrait...

Have to also mention, I really like the detail, lighting and comp here...very nicely done author, you're progressing nicely...your eye is maturing for great composition

Yea...geez, thanks author...NOW I know why I stayed OUT of this contest...Really GREAT work here!

the set-up is nice and the subject is good...just a hint for future submissions of this sort, I may have used a reflector to fill the shadow area between the glass and bottle to brighten it up and level the light a bit...just an opinion

Agree w/ Ade....not very obvious that the red is from paint and not just from lighting. I might think about changing the entry to show better the red color from paint and not lighting???

very well done, good thinking and execution here author, wonderful entry

simple and lovely, great lighting...nicely done author

great detail and lighting, the choice to light this from the back 45 was a good one...GL author for a fine entry

Very neat...would also make a great entry for this weeks traces contest...nicely done author
