Berries and Kiwiby
LawtonComment by Skip: 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 idea, but needs a little more attention to detail. Always check your horizon and rotate so that your lines are straight. Also, your background is a bit distracting; a simple piece of poster board or even printer paper could solve that. The thing is to capture your subject in such a way that the focus is squarely on your subject, without any thing in the image to distract the viewer away from it. Keep working at it - you're not too far off.
