Very nice sharp image. Lighting seems a little harsh to me though.

Holy cow Cindi, this is your shot? I think you got really lucky with a 5.4...

1) The whipped cream is blown
2) The picture is oversharp (look at the reflections on the chocolate cream layer)
3) There is something in the left corner which doesn't belong in the background.
4) It's centered.
5) It's static.

Ouch. I'm only so harsh cuz I know you are capable of far better. Did you put Rikki's army under retainer? ;)

the fact that the strawberry is covered in milk already kind of suggests that this is following a number of attempts to get it right, which kind of lessens the wow! impressed! factor. if it was a clean virgin strawberry, then i think it would be more striking. the other thing i would add is that the lighting seems to strong, pretty much wiping out the crown you get from the splosh. it's still a decent capture, nice and sharp, and certainly fits the challenge. 5.

Nooooo! Not another 'splash' shot! ;^) Well, ok. Since you did it so nicely I guess I can let it slide. He-he. Let's see, you have a well focused strawberry, ROT composition, mostly 'frozen' milk splash, with good exposure. Should do just fine with this one.

I'm surprised this was a 5.4 even though it didn't say "bits and pieces" to me. It's still a great photo thus your 41 votes of 7 or better. it is a great photo just not right for the challenge.

"Great Job" from the "Great Job Baggie"! Who doesn't love strawberries and cream? A great shot that subliminally appeals to just about everyone. The movement in the cream is perfect, as is the position of the strawberry set into the cream at just the right angle. The coloring is very soft, with just the right amount of bright color interruping that softness in the strawberry. I've looked at this a bit more, and I don't know how I feel about the rim of the glass or bowl in the upper right corner. On one hand, it's a tad distracting. On the other hand, it's very faint and exhibits the vessle that the cream is in. I don't know if shooting this from a bigger bowl would have allowed you a different shot that would eliminate that, or if it would be better just the way it is. I'd have to see them side by side to judge that. But, that is not in the scope of THIS shot, so I will judge it as it is. Where do I see this shot hanging? Well, in a kitchen. In a restaraunt. In an ice cream shoppe, in the pots and pans section at a department store. Mass appeal is written all over this! Upping my original vote of an 8 to a 10 after my second pass through!
