Tom Van Veen - One Way

What caught my eye the first time i saw this picture?  The One Way signboard.  Next the clouds.  And the black thick line.
Still unable to figure out what the black thick line is(rooftop?).  I am surprise the sky isn't that dark since a red filter was used.
However it did made the signboard cryout, and lighten the slopes and the wall.  I would like to tell you that I love this picture, the
composition, the title, the clouds and the signboard but IMHO i felt that this picture could well be better for another theme.  Pardon
me but i tend to view the theme and pictures related to it in such a way where i can say "Hey, look what nice patterns and textures
this picture has captured"

Steve Larson - Yum!
Great idea and creativity.  Those chocolates are so inviting, both to the tummy and to the theme.  I would even have stop for
a second look and admire how they were made and how different each can be.  I see that your focus was sharp in the
center, pretty shallow depth of field i would say.  Since there 5 types of chocolates in the picture, you may want to consider setting
a smaller f-stop to make them sharp so that more emphasis can be placed on the pattern and textures.  I am also unable to figure out
what is the white area on the top center to left picture, and the pinkness in a couple of chocolates in the front.  Better DOF would reveal all that to the eye.  I believe this shot was taken pretty near to the chocolates as distance affects DOF.  Looking at the picture again, it may be possible to have a few compositions from different angle.  But I still love the idea and how these chocolates can actually portray the idea
of the theme.

I admit i am being rather harsh on my critiques but this is what we need to improve.

In my most humble opinion.
