I really enjoy this photo. The light and depth of field are great and you focused on a point that adds a beautiful softness to the rest of the garlic with it looking too out of focus. I would never say a bulb of garlic looks sexy but you've gotten pretty close!

I know it’s another romanesco photo in my top ten but you’ve captured it beautifully. Your framing is excellent and the direction of light creates great definition. It really stands out from the competition and was easily one of my favourite photos.

This was the first image that really stood out for me. It's a great subject and I love the drama created by the light. The low angle provides an interesting viewpoint. There's a couple of areas a little overexposed but overall the composition is lovely. Well done.

There’s some great entries in this competition but this is the one I keep coming back to. The light and framing of the shot is perfect and I love the depth of field. I like that the man has his eyes closed rather than being awake, you’ve really captured the moment.

Fabulous shot, very nicely constructed. I agree the colouring of the plant in the background works very well. Your composition is great and I love the sharpness of the 'water droplets' on the cherry. Not bad at all for a boring rainy day!

I love the overall feel of this shot, the light is beautiful. In terms of composition it would be nice to see more of the overall bunch, it’s a little too obscured. This is very close to being a great image and could have made my top ten.
