IAmEliKatzComment 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?
The desat doesn't work for me. It just screams shoe-horn. On the other hand, if you'd cropped it square from the left and toned it straight bw, I would have thought you'd put in a nice take on the challenge. Just my opinion, though.
