  1. I really enjoy the critiques and I hope you do a food one again soon.
    I submitted an image but it didn’t get shown.

    1. Hi Dean,
      That’s strange because all the submitted images were in my folder, did you miss the deadline? If you think there was an issue please contact Emma through the website email.

    Thank you for the food critiques. Learned a lot and you confirmed a lot. Yes, mine was two different apples, with peanut butter in between each layer, plus cropped walnuts if I remember, and a sprint of cinnamon and sugar. Now that you had pointed out the brightness of the table cloth, I see it big time.
    And, you were so close to getting my last name right – Ho in ke. I’ll call you one day and leave it on your voice mail. :0) it’s all good!

  4. Hi Karl and the team 🙂 Just submitted my image, as a very beginner in food photography… No matter if it’s too bad for now, because thanks to you all, I’m really making progress, learning a lot, finding more and more interesting to work around objetcs, models, applying all the precious concepts and skills you are so good at teaching. May I say, Karl, that you have a super clear english accent, so that even me (an Italian) can understand? 🙂
    Thank you so much to everyone.

  5. Hi Karl, hi Team,
    I’m very sorry, but I’m having trouble uploading my image. It was too large, and now I can’t overwrite it. I thought 10 MB, as stated in the instructions, was allowed, but it turned out to be too much. Is it possible to delete it? I’ll upload it again.
    Very Sorry for the inconvenience,
    Elena Hofmeister

      Hi Elena,

      It should be possible to re-upload, are you able to please try again? Images need to be below 10MB and 3840×2160 pixels.

      If you continue to experience issues you can also email your image through to [email protected]. 🙂

      HI! It’s most likely due to your image being over the pixel dimension limits – Images need to be below 10MB and 3840×2160 pixels.

      If you continue to experience issues you can also email your image through to [email protected]. 🙂

      1. Thank you Emma, I sent you an e-mail with the image on the deadline, and I upload my image with the right size today. Thanks!

    My submission is at beginner level, could hurt someone’s eyes. By learning through projects and challenges, hopefully I could get something better this year. 🙂

  10. Hi, I just submitted my photo to be assessed on Tuesday the 12 th of May 2026. I am very excited to hear the review.

  11. HI

    Fr : je vous ai envoyé un triptyque. Je ne sais pas si c’est Ok pour vous (que cela compte comme 1 image et non 3).

    Bien à vous.

    1. Bonjour, pas vraiment, car nous ne sommes censés commenter qu’une seule image de plat par participation.
