one for you, the rest for me

The green is overwhelming and white in the box ends up looking greenish itself because of everything around it. The presentation is fairly plain and stolid. In judging this challenge I don't ask "Does this photo make me want to eat this?" I ask "Would I want to hang this on my wall?" This might work as an ad but not as a work of art. There's extra unused space around the image, particularly at the bottom, so it could be cropped tighter.

Your dessert looks delicious! Good choice of an interesting dessert. On the other hand, in judging this challenge I don't ask "Does this photo make me want to eat this?" I ask "Would I want to hang this on my wall?" In the cropping, your elements feel like they're pinched at the top but there's extra space on the left, right and bottom. The angle is too much from above and too much of the dessert is at the same distance from the camera so the image ends up lacking depth. The color temperate is a little too yellow.

I really like your cropping choice and the composition moves the eyes around the image well and there's good depth. There isn't a lot of variation in the color, though. Maybe white frosting would have looked nice and provided more contrast in the image.

I like the background spotlight that gives a halo to your subject. I feel like the whole image has a little too much brown, though. The flower is a nice tough and is well-placed, although I feel it should be a brighter yellow. It feels like you left too much room all around the edges, especially on the left side and bottom.

Overall the image seems a bit dark. The scroll seems a little distracting and perhaps should be more blurry -- it also goes right through your subject and should have been laid so it's more up-and-down.

You did a nice job of lighting the fruit to capture the texture and color variation. The most interest part is in the center and if you zoomed in close to that it seems like it would greatly increase the impact.

I really like that you took a more artistic approach and didn't just make a pretty dessert and present it formally. For this one I would prefer the contrast not be dialed up quite as high but I like how it gives your pink cupcake a more sinister look! The cupcake seems to disappear into the background on the upper left corner, and if the entire left side did that it would have been nice to see that in the frame.

The eye-level viewing angle and conservative cropping make the presentation very plain. It also feels like too much of it is in shadow and could do with more even lighting.

You could crop this much closer on the sides and bottom, even to the point of losing some of the cake, without losing context. The presentation doesn't quite match the concept: the concept is whimsical but the presentation is a little plain, with everything evenly spaced and centered.

It looks delicious! Overall it's nicely lit and photographed and has good colors, but the presentation is fairly plain. The pattern in the wallpaper only serves to distract from the subject.
