OK - Did a new upload so for those who only saw a red X is this better? Since I had a chance to re-shoot my current entry, addressing some of the helpful comments on the DOF and background lights/shapes, it's now down to my current entry vs. the newer version and they're different so I'm having a hard time deciding. Can anyone help me choose? Thanks, GP

    It may be me, but I only see a red x for #2.

    Garden Party is much nicer in composition and lighting!

    I like #2. It looks sharper and brighter.

    I love #2! (Btw, looking more closely at #1, I'm seeing some texture in the dark area. Not sure whether that is intentional or the result of a filter or something?)

    I like #2, too. Now, I'm hungry and it's all your fault! :)

    Yes! Garden Party is much more enticing to my eye and my tummy. The grapes, and especially the pose of the stem first catch my focus and begin a journey around the scene to inspect crackers, cheese and then.... while in "taste" there is very little to generate the interest to look.

    Nice job

    Agree with all - #1 is a great idea, #2 is that idea executed beautifully!

    I really like the bokeh effect in the newest edit.
