LOL! Good concept. May have wanted to boost the contrast a little to make the chocolate darker/warmer. Good job.

this is a great setup. i think the table edge / red background detracts a lot from the photo. if you had moved the trap to the other side of the table and had an only slighly higher angle maybe it would have been just the trap and the table cloth, without the distracting background. amazing focus and detail. nice.

That one snuck up on you and got caught. Or is that your way of quitting?

Ohhh great idea and nicely shot. Did you have the trap "restrained" to make it easier/safer?

Comment by autool:
Grayce,
Thank you very much for the kind words on my "Tabletop Warrior". When I put this phptograph together it was all about mood. Our current world affairs made me think about prior events and as I looked at this statue it all came together. I wanted to shoot it with a degree of mystery and try to tell the story of the strife of the times. I didn't want to make a clear shot as if for an advertisement, but one that would make people think. I feel that accomplishment was made, as several people have made comment to the likes.

It is those like yourself that keep me participating on this wonderful site.
Thank you, and lets keep having fun!
Dick Pattee

Very funny!! Focus and DOF is excellent, the chocolate is very sharp and the blobs give this image so much more charachter. The red background fits in very well and I almost gave it a ten except one thing bothers me a little. The edge of the table is a little distracting in the background, I would have prefered to see an unbroken background - 9. Gary.
