Spirits in the material world as well. I think the fuzzed edges add power to the shadows.

Terrific building. I would have liked for there to be a little more separation between the figures and the bg

The subject is well lit and focus is crisp. Your dessert looks delicious but 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 is good technically and would be a good photo for illustrating your dessert in a menu or cookbook, but the presentation is plain and it isn't that exciting for an artistic photo. A much tighter crop would make it more intriguing (most of the berry tart, and just parts of the other two).

Simple and beautiful! Perhaps they could use a little more light.

Voted earlier coming back to comment now.

Lighting is good on the desserts illuminating all the tasty details. As good as the image is there are a one thing that could make this even better. The arrangement of the composition seems odd - off symmetry. You have the left dessert full with colorful fruit then to balance it on the right you have the sweet treat but it is just cream and some chocolate. My eye goes right to and pretty much stays focused on the fruit tart. I feel this still life arrangement does not work so well. Those nice punches of tasty color just draws the eye's full focus. So I would play up that strength. I think the more effective arrangement would to have been a triangle arrangement where the fruit tart is front & center point while the two cream tarts rest in the back. That way we see this colorful treat and then notice the promise of sweet delights continues out to the horizon.

simple, clean but kinda boring. i really enjoy the textures on the dessert though and everything except the background is awesome.

Very nice, love the DOF on the 2 front pastries and the back one out of focus adds interest.
