This is nice, but looks a bit over exposed or washed out to my eye. It looks wonderful your a good cook!

I can't decide which looks better ... the photo or the actual cake, mmmmmm!
Nice shot. Good ad pic. I like the theme of red throughout the shot, tablecloth, strawberries and can.

Nice shot. Doesnt look very clear for some reason. Like a low quality digital shot. Dont know if something was lost in editing.

from the critique club:
First: the composition is strong excepting the ambiguity of the angle. Just a little more to the right to concentrate on the profile. The lighting is very nice and gentle and suiting the pensive mood you are portraying. Minor improvements include asking the model to wet lips just before shooting. Personally, I would have requested a slight curl of the slip to suggest an incipient smile. Not complete, not halfway. The very start. However, this would make it a different portrait. Placing subject just further from background would have also elimitated the shadow detail at bottom of head. Since you cropped a part of the head, the eye will linger at the visible part.
The major fault with this image is its color balance. Whenever a portrait is done you will find color differences between face and neck and shoulders and arms. The best advise I can give is to opt for a slight desaturation and make certain you have a white balance reference. For example, the red and yellow have crept into the eyes. This is more prevalent when the shot is done with incandescent light.
Since this is your first attempt, rest assured that you did very well for you managed to introduce character and the idea for the angle was good.

Comment by willem:
the cake is already quite a busy composition, and then add the table cloth, it becomes a bit too much. Just a few (or even one) strawberry with cream would have been enough for me.

I really like this photo.....I wonder how you got the eggplant so purple. It almost looks like paint, but I'm just guessing.

Seems a little too sharp for me, but still perfectly effective! (10)

Nice colorful image. Might be better with a bit more light and if the tablecloth wre horizontal, but it's still very good.
