Great Image. Love the movement at the bottom. It is ever so slight which really gives you perspective on the massiveness of the structure. The exposure is spot on and everything is tac sharp. Good job 8

HOT CHOCOLATE

Tut tut, did nobody ever tell you that you should finish your wine before you start your sweet? (pudding wines are normally white). The clarity and sharpness of the foreground is (to me) exceptional! I understand the reason for the 'smoke' coming from behind the cake but think light use of a blow torch on the chocolate would have had a better effect? A good luck bump of 1 :)

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
The green and red look great .. but what is the placemat there for?

Composition:
interesting composition .. I am not an expert at still life .. but I like how you have set up this .. and cropped ... to a point I want to turn the apple around to create a leading line with the stem .. but not sure if that would work.

Subject:
meets the challenge.... does it well.

Technical (Colour and light):
Great colour and nice lighting .. .the actual reflection of the windows is a little distraction though.

To grow its vote?:
simple pictures with basic elements have taken out this challenge .. I think taht the mat addedd complexity that wasn't needed.

Summary:
Good work . something quite out of the box for you ... keep it up.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari
