Comment by Patzt:
Well, this is the very first time I've seen any results for a photo I've submitted! It was so exciting. Thanks for the votes!

I must tell you about the photo:

I'm Canadian but I lived in Northern Ireland for many years married to a fellow from there. He's passed away now and the Shillelagh in the photo is his. (It's an ancient Irish weapon) The shovel was made by my father before I was born (probably in the depression days) and represents emptying my ashes from the fireplace each day when we lived over there. And of course, the shamrock plant I bought in memory of my husband. Thus the title, "Loving Memories from the Auld Sod".

This was so much fun!

Nice color to your photograph, good lighting technique. I like your focus and sharpness.

Boy, I pity those on the Atkins' Diet. Of course, we on the Weight Watchers Program would have difficulty with this one as well. Great focus. maybe a touch busy -- perhaps you could have isolated one piece and shot it. Otherwise, why don't you send me a piece of it!

Don't understand the title. Picture subjects are kind of interesting.

Good sharp foreground. Extra light would have added punch to photo.

Hilarious title! I am trying to cut back on carbs, and talk about hard! You're just making it harder - yum!! Great shot, but looks like you might have used the flash???

There's something about the light that bothers me in this. Not sure what however. Plus you should have zoomed in slightly to remove the front of the pan and table.

wow! a Dr. Atkins nightmare! great colors. maybe you could try a tighter crop and a different lighting next time. the edge of the platter is a bit distracting. still a good pic, though. sigh...now i want cheesecake!
