I worked seven hours on this shot, and I'm very happy with it. I can only hope all the hard work pays off and the voters approve. Keeping my fingers...and toes crossed!

excellent diversion from all the fruits and flowers and wine glasses! how refreshing and different and cohesive i like a lot about this shot well lit well composed 8
A good tonal range of white through to black, and an interesting but not confusing range of textures. I broadly like the composition, but do feel that there are areas that could be improved - the frame is filled, giving a fairly rectangualr feel to the composition; I wonder if a triangle towards the top, perhaps through differing heights of bottles/jug, might give a more dynamic feel. The diagonal placement of the chopping board and rolling pin work well. I would like to see what it would look like with the bowl of eggs placed to the right - as it is, they are the first thing I see, and then my eyes wander across the frame to the bowl and scoop which, whilst important to the 'story', are nothing like as aesthetically pleasing.
