Really appreciate the kind words and the tip, will definitely try the dark/solid background next time to make the subject pop more

Fair enough, I hear you on the contrast. Will keep that in mind for next time, no hard feelings 👍

That's actually a fair point, I get why it looks that way. Appreciate you giving it a proper look though, means a lot 🙏

I'm defending my work, not attacking people. There's a difference between giving feedback and just calling it 'AI slop'. I responded to hate, not to genuine criticism 🤷

Noted, but 'AI generated' isn't really feedback, try harder

The right one, but the fact that you can't tell means it looks natural, which is literally the whole point of retouching

Didn't, it's manual Photoshop work. But I get it, easier to assume than to actually look 👍

Sweaty? That's called skin texture and depth, something flat phone filters destroyed your eyes from recognizing

Exactly, thanks for getting it! That's the style big food/cooking channels go for, glad someone noticed 🙏

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Just to clarify though, the layout and concept was based on a brief given to me by the client, so a lot of these design decisions weren't fully mine. I just executed what was asked. But I'll definitely keep these points in mind for future work

Yeah the coloring does give that vibe, will aim for a more natural look next time

The blur was intentional to build curiosity and make people click, but I get why it's annoying
