I would have tried to use a less damaged clove of garlic. That detracts abit and it's just a tad grainy, a little soft reflected light may help that.
I like the textures all around but there are a couple of hot spots on the top of the bulb.
The cinammon is very nice, but one or the other I think. You have a lot of nice detail showing in the garlic and table already I don't think an additional element is helping here.
I love the table, love the cinnamon, but yuck - that is the ugliest, saddest, knarliest garlic I've ever seen and I think it hurts the photo, also the reflections and hot spots are harsh. But Love that cinnamon! Good Photo though nice DOF
Very good photo. Nice texture, good composition and meets the challenge well. My only critique is the cut piece of garlic is a little out of focus and the reflection of the light source takes away from that part of the photo. 8
This has the look and feel of a painting - the textures are so well detailed and it feels like a still life study. I like the cinammon against the wooden background too.
