CRITIQUE CLUB

LIGHTING - Excellent, no glare or odd focus.

SUBJECT - Very cute idea. Wonderful focus on the humorous "quotes"!

CROPPING - Great way to fill the page, but you might want to crop down just a tiny bit, ending at the top of the tin. It looks too much like there's something beyond the tin.

SCORING - I think the only reason this scored below a 6 was the limited interest of voters. Candy hearts are something we are all used to seeing at Valentines day, both in advertisements and in stores. As nice as this is, it might not have seemed "unique" to many voters. Don't take the score as a negative, though. It really is a very GOOD shot!
