I'm glad you got out of your comfort zone to shoot this. Only way to learn.

I liked the concept here, just felt it was a tiny bit OOF and a little under exposed. The cake, I'm assuming in the background looked like a blob also, couldn't distinguish exactly what it was. Did you add the grain for effect also?

Composition was spot on though.

I like the angle and positioning of the shot. But the HDR is throwing me off, as well as the DOF/focus.

Thank you for the kind words everyone! I felt a bit cheeky slotting this in last minute instead of an (arguably inferior) shot I'd entered a couple of weeks before. On the one hand I'm glad the series was generally liked buy everyone and that the day was so successful. On the other I now feel like Marge and the Chanel suit in that episode of the Simpsons and my next task is to mix up my profile as the top 3 shots are now all from the same series. Eek!

I love a challenge though, here's to creating something different and maybe surprising in the next couple of weeks :)

I assume this is a Rankles? Best one so far. I liked the placement, the horizon not centered. Though I would be curious to see just the left half cropped in and down. The hills and the trees on the left are just about perfect. I love the detail that's almost a filigree of the trees against the hills. Everything about the left is stunning. The right is nice, too, but sits a bit heavy to me. Though lightening it wouldn't work, imo, because it is a much heavier scene, and lightening it would look fake. -8-

I very much like this composition. Subjectively, the blue cast seems......off a tad, but if ti was like that, so be it. 6
