Mmmmmm.... Now... this smell can drive someone crazy in the morning. I wish I didn't see the green weeds in the background. It is distracting from the beauty of the arangement. Maybe you should have tried another angle. 8
YUCK!!! The meat that is (as a vegitarian). But a lovely breakfast shot, I think the shot would rank higher had there been a larger focus on one aspect of smell though. We're simple people, give me one message. The white spoon on right of the plate is distacting.
This is one heck of a shot and a great interpretation of the challenge. A couple of things kept it from getting my highest mark. Focus from front to back needs to be consistent. It looks like it may have been over sharpened. The rim on the coffee cup and saucer are ragged (on my screen). You evoked a sencse of smell in my nose immediately. Steam riseing from the food would have tweaked an aditional sense of aroma. You still got good marks from me. Is that scene off your deck? Best of luck.
makes me hungry just smelling it, and well composed overall -- how lovely to have a brook by your breakfast
the lighting overall is a bit cold, I think
