Those spices are one of the best subjects to photograph. I love the different shades. Thanks for sharing!

I am really sorry, cannot give you the high scores like the others did.
To me this picture is only interesting but I am missing something to catch the eye.

I do agree with your first poster about the tonal range, though.

Great place for pictures. I like the different colors and textures (nearly can smell the spices...) Just a little bit overexposed in lights, but good work anyway.


Score 8/10 (from the Score Me! group) This could be a 10 out of 10 candidate, man, but I feel like something about this picture just missed the boat. The midtones are AMAZING, for instance, you've got a virtual collor palette with all of those goods to the mans right. Capturing him smoking is good too. The problem is that the extreme tones are blown, like the boxes up in the top left of the picture, and the blacks on the mans shirt. The lines lose continuity. Soemthing I would suggest is shooting in raw, and then changing the EV on it to obtain two different pictures.. and HDR it. Good shot all the same.
