 Okay, first submission so I appreciate all feedback good and bad, just preferably constructive. Any advise on filters etc would be appreciated also, I have no experience with any of the programs that use them.

Thanks for the comments, people.

The glare I realised (unsurprisingly, it takes a lot away I think) and actually sat down and edited it out before seeing there was no spot-editing allowed in the challenge, so sent in the unedited copy. I spent a fair while trying to get a good crop, but unfortunately this was about the best I could do.

Was a fun picture to take though! So that's a good thing! :)

Like the use of the cat. A few more cans would have emphasized the empty cupboard. Nice overall.

cropping could have made this a good pic. also, the glare of the flash is distracting.

nice idea but the lighting does not quite work , the gleam is too noticeable under the cat and the image appears a bit too dull overall
