the more i look at this the better i like it ..
your creamy background is particularly appealing to me .. as is the entire image with your composition and the colours and lighting ..

No, not in focus. My cell phone takes awful pics. Awful. I never enter cell phone pics. But we were having this and it's summer and I thought, "What the heck?"

Thanks for the vote of confidence, though, despite the poor image quality.
