Hi,

I would of made the tree more in focus. I like the theme of the photo. The shadow on the food is kinda ruining the shot as well. But still is a good photo.

Hi TyCarp,

This is a nice image. I really like the way that the tree is out of focus, thereby directing the attention to the foreground. For me, I find that the image is not centered (for lack of a better term) in the frame well. There is a large gap between the edge of the frame and milk jar on the right. A smaller gap on the left between the tree and the edge and the napkin runs out of the frame. I would like to see a smaller gap on the right. I think this could have been accomplished by moving the jar to the right a little bit. Also. I would have used a smaller napkin so that the front of the image is nothing but table.
