Hey, I shoot this on film and receive as a high resolution scan - which I can not upload here so I need to scale down, so I did see it in full size.
That being said I agree is overexposed on the bright side and the focus is a bit behind. I came to embrace these things happening when you shoot with a film camera and manual focus. It just comes with the territory.
I guess I like the massiveness of it, like it says that bread is such an important part of our lives. But I understand and respect your point. Unfortunately, the out of focus wasn't intended so it's clearly a mistake..
Looking forward for your critique on the next shots!
Cheers.
