I gave this an 8. Really liked the colors/patterns/shapes used, as well as the unusual 'placement'. The 'high key' effect works well, but just a fraction more definition, may have made this even better in my opinion... but I'm sure this looks exactly as you intended.
Going for a high-key approach? Good concept overall. I'm not sure how this is going to go over with voters given that highly saturated colors are the current fashion, and this is rather toned-down and flat. I find the selection of the onion area and the distinct line with the white background a little distracting. I think the onions should have been selected a little tighter, or maybe feather the selection more, or even use levels/curves more to bring the white up instead. JMO of course. Good luck.
i love the high-key treatment you have given this image. the narrow DOF and the bright-but-not-quite-white background combine with the apparently floating onions to make an intriguing and surreal photograph.
this looks like it was tough to compose. hard to balance the white space with the far-right focal point. i feel like the image may be a tiny bit squeezed on the left.
