Naughty .... but nice

Comment by Artyste:
To me, this is missing that certain "wow" factor (to borrow from a DPC "standard"), that gives me incentive to score higher. the narrow DOF is a little distracting in this case, especially because of the hard lighting on the right hand side. The off centered composition also doesn't work to me, since the way you've posed the pastry already suggests a lack of symmetry, which, if used in a centered comp, would have worked quite nice. Also, somehow, the color just seems a little flat. the whipped cream in which the strawberry rests just doesn't stand out the way it could to make the statement I feel that I want it to make.
Still, it's a great attempt, and now I'm craving yummy pastries!

Nice touch of light in the eye. Nice serious expression - sombre but not depressed. Nice choice of toning colour. Lighting creates some lovely shadows that make some wonderful shapes.

Very mysterious and intriguing. Love the light and shadow play. I also really like the tones, which are quite effective. Well done! :o)
