This was one I liked seeing in the challenge. I loved the spot lighting and the golden tone. Nice touch with keeping the bread crumbs in the shot. Congrats on 5th place and your new personal best!
lighting is very beautiful, almost soothing. i like the addition of bread crumbs too. it does not only add "character" to the shot but also balances out the smoothness/perfectness/lack-of-texture of the pitch-black background. nice work!
Lighting is great, so is the composition with the black negative space. The empty basket is sort of disjointed. Would have liked to see something in it, or not have it there at all.
The darkness really helps show off the textures and warm colors of the breasd and basket. I think you could get away with even less negative space up top, thereby bringing the subject into a more prominent position. I also like the effect the crumbs have on this composition. Very nice job on this challenge.
Very good indeed, the colours are warm and inviting, making you want to reach in and eat. the simplicity of the shot with the sprinklings of white make this a 10
Might have benefited from the light being less directional and more diffuse. I think also the colour might be better jacked down instead of up, but it's a noble effort at capturing the essence of the challenge.
