Well done Mak (and that is what I am eating now at home directly from budapest to my kitchen!!)!!!!
The only comment I have is for those two people who managed to give you a 1!!
Well done for them too.....at least we know they are learning to count...maybe a day they will learn there are other numbers too.but that's ok.

Well, that's a nice, clean job. It didn't seem particularly "symbolic" to me, more like "literal", but it's certainly well-made :-) Grats on the ribbon!
Grats on the ribbon for this beautifully lit image, but I was hoping you would explain what symbolism you saw in it and what the assembled objects stood for. It is a lovely still life.
Extremely nice picture, it was one of my top pick. I love the color harmony, it contrasts with the inherent violence of the pressure. And it also makes me hungry, now I want a peach! ;-) Congratulations.
i would have titled it "hard pressed" or something.. congrats on the ribbon
That's great Leslie, I am so crap at titles.. The meaning behind this image was supposed to convey "even though the pressure seems unbearable at times there is usually something wonderful at the end of it." bit too long for a title but yours made it work.
If you would have had a title like that (though distilled a little :) you would have slaughtered my image.
This shot is so incredibly stunning, I gave it a 7, but simply because my little brain couldn't come up with the symbolism. It seemed more like an informative shot than a symbolic shot. That's my fault and lack of imagination -- though I looked at it a long time trying to figure it out. Absolutely beautiful -- and congrats on the red!

I'd love to hear what this means to you. This one was the first that I've seen in the bunch that has sent my mind afire. The photo could mean any number of things, but the one that I like the best that I came up with is that the peach (as it so often does) represents the female. The wine represents the perfect female. And the press represents some of the things (plastic surgery, etc) that females do to try to become the "perfect female." I"m probably way off on this, but I really liked that idea.
As for the photo, the technicals are great and I love the simplicity of your set up.
Beautiful tones, and the lit portion of the bg is really beautiful. Dark colors are very difficult to light, and if this were not basic, the velvet would have benefited from some dodging :-)
