Thank you for the comments.
One of my top results so far.
I was trying to recreate an image people might already know rather than one from scratch.

It looks a tiny bit dark on my screen - perhaps it needs some more contrast? I love the lettuce for the forests though. Wonderful! :)

The reflection is fabulous. Wish that there was a little more sky, but it is still very well done!

Creative. The lines on the mountain are a little distracting, but overall good.

The reflection of the moutain is very nice, but better lighting would have been better as well.

Brilliantly creative and wonderfully executed. Meets the challenge in every respect. 9 from me and I think you are going to be in ribbon territory with this one

I like the use of reflections and the saran wrap for the texture of the water.

This is a good attempt at the challenge, but the elements just don't blend together well at all.

The plastic wrap is a little obvious and the blue sky is kind of a dull color. BUT i like where you were going and basically everything else about this photo. Maybe playing with the lighting could add more drama too.

A good idea but your composition is all a litle too central and maybe if you had smoothed the lines on the chocolate. 7
