Yum!

Criticism most welcome on - Lighting, composition and general appeal - thanks.

Shot taken with a small softbox about three feet above and at a steep angle. Beginning to use light meter more instead just a histogram!

"Still image" is one of the scavenger hunt themes for our camera club in Midland, Mi.

    Looks delicious! That crust looks nice and flakey and the cherries, yum. I can feel my mouth watering! Ah, uh, where's the ice cream, the vanilla ice cream?

    "Where is the ice cream?" That is a popular question. Looks like I need a reshoot, but you know these kind of still images don't last long rolleyes1.gif

    I think the lighting and over image is nice and clean.

    If I were to try and improve it I would ether remove the fork or clean it off, and wipe off the cherry smuts on the plate. If you want a used (with cherry on it) fork maybe remove a bit of pie.

    One area I am trying improve with food and or still life is to pay attention to the details.

    Thanks Sam. I was torn between a very clean cut piece of pie, clean pate and fork, and what I did. I like the idea of cutting a piece off since the fork is not clean. Details, details......

    Nice shot, Phil. I figure if a food shot like this makes the viewer ache for a piece of it, then it's a resounding success. I'm diving for the Aleve right now to deal with the pain. thumb.gif

    Take care,

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Thanks to both of you. I had other comments - "Where is the ice cream?" Guess I will have to do it all over again and enjoy fruits of the labor.
