This is a tough challenge to vote. I'm torn between "what are you trying to do here" and "what do I expect here". Further complicating matters is the question "what would I do here".

What I would expect would be a technically strong piece of eye-candy that would present the dessert in a way that I would want to at least sample it, if not order it. Along these lines I'm looking at technicals: backgrounds, distracting elements, exposure, sharpness. I'm also looking for creativity, imagination, and originality, which can make up for less than perfect technicals.

So, where does this leave me with your image?

Nice take on the challenge! And thank you for not using any selective desat!!

I like the size and position of the 3 images. Somehow the little white border on the main image bothers me. The light and tones of the boy are great.

mmmm....Thinking I need some chocalate ice cream now...the subject on the right looks like he's considering taking the subject on the lefts ice cream bar in addition to his own. Love the black and white...was getting tired of looking at color studio style shots...nice job.

Nice crop and vignetting. Something about that winter sunlight, just hot enough to put a sweat under your hat, but not nearly enough to defeat the wind off the ocean.

Comment by Cory:
Cute. I don't think it really screams technology, but it does sorta hit the challenge concepts in a tangential sort of way.
