One of my favourites this week. Great colours, focus and cropping. I like the composition too. Very well done. Good luck!

I tried to do this same picture -- I cut out a tortilla into the pi shape and then put the toppings on it, and it didn't work at all as a photo (though it tasted good). It looks like you did the opposite -- make the pizza and then cut it out. Very nicely, I might add -- it makes a very appetizing-looking pi on that background!

This is my first critique on DP Challenge. Do you feel honoured? It was the first image on the page I admit, but even so I feel it was a good one for my first viewing. I really like the perspective and the sepia tones are just wonderful. Thanks for making my first experience a happy one.

Critique Club Review

It's hard to come up with much improvement for this photo, and your score shows it. Great symmetry, and the arch of the bridges takes the eye right to the center between them. I'm trying to imagine this photo in color, to see if I think that could have helped... But I think that sepia or B&W was the better choice. If I would suggest anything different, I would say that to have taken the photo with the sun higher in the sky so that the shadows of the bridges would have been in synch also might have made it a tiny bit better. Also, while clouds do move slowly and seldom do we have all day to take a pic, they are the only distracting elements of this picture I could find. These are tiny, tiny nits that I am picking here. This is a very good picture and one I could see hanging on a wall in my house.

Great job!

Pretty shades of pink. I like the soft focus on this image.The irregular and almost in focus leaves do not do the rose justice.

Nice macro but I think the colour sis too pale for the challenge
