GilesComment 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, and not badly shot. However, I think that a much, much tighter crop would have given you a much, much stronger image. Take a look at 25% off the left, 20% off the right, and 20-25% off the top. All that wasted space takes away from the impact. Very nice composition, though.
