Flying

Very nice. Like the fact that you have all of the young lady in the shot, but still kept part of the person on the bottom in there for context. Well exposed (kept the sky in good shape as well as the people).

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Fun shot! Like the angle and DOF.

Around the Lake

You did a good job getting there before the kids tracked up the snow. ;^)

As for the image: I like your composition with the path positioned as it is for a nice leading line. Nice balance of negative space with the lower left being just snow. The lighting worked well for you with the overcast skies. Lighting and exposure are good on this challenging subject (snow)... the snow looks exposed properly, especially when you look at the highlighted areas that are picking up sunlight from the bottom right. You might want to double-check by using the B/W points and selecting the snow on the pine branches (center of image) as your white point.

Did you take any shots from here in portrait mode? Might be interesting...

Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

Thai Shrimp with Red Curry Sauce

Very nice. You did a great job putting this together. While some may find the lighting a little harsh at first glance, it's really not - the lighting brings out the moistness of the food. Makes my mouth water! ;^) Good luck in the challenge.

Wonderful composition, right on the money! Nice crisp image, great DOF, nice choice of background with the flames. It's all put together for what should be a winning image. Congratulations in advance! ;^)

Great detail without oversharpening. Can almost feel the texture and smell the bread! Love the steam coming up also. Very well done!

While this is a very cool shot I don't see how it is appropriate for this challenge.

Challenge Description: Prepare 1 or more dishes from a recipe. Photograph before, during or after and use that as your submission. You should put the recipe in the details section of the submission.

What are you preparing? Can you eat it?

Cheesecake topped Brownie

This is quite a delicious looking piece of dessert. Couple of observations; I think for this to work better the entire top of the dessert should be in focus - you're a bit too shallow on DOF. Another consideration would have been to move your angle up or use a larger plate - the backside of the plate here is distracting. All that being said, I think I'll come back to have a look at the recipe after the results are in! ;^)

Good luck in the challenge.

Fresh Dinner

I think your concept for this challenge entry is good. Very cool capture to get this hawk and pheasant (I'm a mid-westerner myself originally). I do think that you pushed it a bit to get this in. What I mean is the image is a little blurry and the focal point is too centered. Makes me wonder if this is a tight crop from a larger original, or given the low light situation the shutter speed wasn't high enough?

Still, congrats on being there to get this cool moment in time! Good luck in the challenge.
