Like you creativity, composition, and light. I think if you'd of been higher then the table it would of helped. The background focus is too soft...and the top of the Sundae is a bit soft. Good luck.

Nice sky, trees to contrast the sign.

I find the background too busy which distracts from the subject. Otherwise great shot.

The top piece looks like a piece of fake play food like my kids have that is actually frosting for a cupcake. I don't know if it is, but it's a dead ringer for it. I like the backdrop and lighting. I would've ditched the plate though. Nice job - Inpszil

I don't like that border. I would change the blue one for a white one. The picture is good and I woun't rate it worse because of the border. Good job and good luck :)

Critique Club...
Yup this is definitely a strange land :-) I love the idea behind this picture... its similar to a sledding picture with sleds on the body, but this is such a cool idea! :-) The first thing I really notice is how much I like the composition here! I really think you did an excellent job with that! I also like the white background, it makes it almost look like snowy hills or maybe a bunch of clouds, I like the extra texture that background puts into the photo. Your dof is pretty good here, I like the way the front of the picture is just slightly blurred, so you can't tell what it is until you get closer to the "fishing hole". I think this is a neat effect. The one thing that really takes my eye away from the photo as a whole is the tape that is holding the fisherman up.... I'm not sure what you could have done there... but it is slightly bothersome... though I understand why you had to put it... The fisherman is kind of weird the way you can clearly see his shirt, but not his face... I think this would have been better if either you could see the details in the fisherman, or you could just see a sillouhette of the entire little guy. I do like the fish though. I wonder how this picture would have looked in black and white? It might have been a neat thing to try. Overall I definitely think your picture got your idea across. Its an adorable photo, that I think should have had a better score! Nice job. Good luck in future challenges!

Wo. Excellent, excellent sky colour. 2 things I'd change. 1 the blue border is very distracting. Maybe just use a black border. 2) shoudl have gone through the shrubs in front ... they're a bit distracting. This way you could have concentrated on the the wonderful tree in the middle. I'll still give you a 8 because it has that Wow element. Good luck.
