Very touching. Perhaps needs to be a bit sharper though.

There's what appears to be a loose speck of sugar on the green one that I'd perhaps have cloned out.

Crema di Limone e Cocco Friand con Limoncello Rinfrescante

Saw this in voting and though it was yours Enzo. This is highly underrated (I can't believe mine finished higher) I think part of the problem is geography - I didn't know what a Friand was until I googled it and I wonder how many voters were the same. :-( Now I know, I want to try one lol.

This image looks great though. I have to agree with Techo about the way you always make your food shots look natural, arranging the table decorations/wine etc around the shot and somehow makng it look casual, almost effortless, and not at all "stagey" and artificial. Your use of DOF really adds to that - I don't agree with the commenter who criticised it, I think it's perfect here. The only technical criticism I'd make is the topping on the Friands seems a bit bright - not quite blown out but a bit bright for my taste nonetheless. I'm not too sure about the lemons but as I don't know the dish I shan't criticise ;-)

Perhaps this isn't your best shot but then you have very high standards. I can't emphasise that last sentence enough. Keep it up Enzo, more food pics please :-)

Fine... or Raw ?

Comment:
always shoot in RAW, silly ;-)

I'd possibly rearrange the components of this pic a little. Perhaps lose the cup or move it back so it's more OOF and less distracting. Then move the two sugar bowls so they're level and side-by-side. The way it looks now, it almost looks as ifthe frontmost sugarbowl is from a different shot, (although that might be your PP) hence you've had it validated.

On the whole though, I like this. It's got a nice range of tones and colours and is well lit.
