Fantastic Work! Wonderful Pencil work great feel!

Lovely still life!!! The peppers look waxing, and the glass ultra shiny! The cloth looks like cloth. I'd say you did well! Very well! Great depth as well! The balance is nicely done, though I do want to add something to the bottom right...but just a hair. Ignore the nit picky girl here...it's lovely!

Beautiful work: great reflections and handling of glass see-thru yet reflective.. might need a bit more darks somewhere. Overall the feeling is midtones. super composition! Bet your Mom loved it!

Faboulous work. Does not lack any contrast 10+

Beautiful, I especially like how you rendered the light on the glass and the vase :)

Great depth and the glass reflections are very good. I think it lacks the contrast that would really make it pop though. Lovely composition.

The detail and shading is just wonderful. Makes me want to crack open a bottle of wine and eat some fruit to unwind from a stressful day.

Excellent pencil work. The contours are well defined and each shape lives in its own space, as well as influencing the surroundings by shadow or reflection. I'm sure your mother was happy about it. Mine is a bit picky and she doesn't like anything too aggressive or political. Too bad.
