Hi berzerque69.

I like the subject matter, and the creamy, earthtones against the blue background. The lighting suits the subject well.

The photo does not seem 100% still, and the motion makes my eyes go funny, when I look at the top of the garlic clove in the foreground, although that maybe your DOF / f-stop coming into play. It just seems a little hazy/foggy to me.

I also want to know more about the ones behind too! I just want to reach in there and separate the front clove from the back one just a little bit.... Maybe that was your intention . . . .

I really do like the blue background!

I like your concept with the big bulb on the background and your choice of DOF. In my point of view the picture probably will look much better if take the skin off that piece of garlic in the foreground and make it sharper. On the other hand I like the patterns and colors that match against the table. Well done.
