This was fun.. I have no idea how this will place, but I feel it's the best photo I've turned in so far. I made this out of grapes & green onions. It was a joy to put together, so regardless of where it places, it was a success. I tried new lighting techniques and learned a lot about photoshop in post processing too. If you have any thoughts of how I could have made this better, please let me know. I appreciate any feedback.
lol.. So, I learned what not to do when editing in photoshop. My monitor nor the other 4 monitors I looked at this photo on picked up the yellow crap in the bottom right corner. Also, the color looked bright & vibrant.. Thank you for all the comments. It helped alot.

Nice arrangement and compostion. Border works well. Not sure if something slipped through in editing, but the background looks uneven, especially lower right corner.
It really looks like you've done a bunch of cloning in the background, but I could be wrong. The point is that it LOOKS like you have, and that's bad. Cloning would be fine, but I bet you've got one of those bright new LCD monitors that sometimes make shots (especially cloning edits) look really good and smooth, but on normal monitors, there's a bunch of marks and dark areas, etc. Best of luck. This is a really nice shot, but it's a fraz dark.
I like your arrangement. IMO the even and big light source from above makes the colors apear a little washed out. I copied your picture into PS and played just slightly with curves (a typial S-curve). Amazing, what happened to your great picture.
