Greetings from the CC!

MEETS THE CHALLENGE: IMO it didn't meet the challenge even though I love the stuff! :-P But not candy to me.

LIGHTING & FOCUS: light saturation is good but the yellowish tone draws away from the yummyness of it. A nice WB check would have solved this problem ro reducing the yellow saturation. Focus is good the somewhat shalow DOF isn't distracting to the eye and works well here.

COMPOSITION: I like the shot angle an the fact that we see some BG. It brings the focus back to the food. Your frame is clean and simple and not distracting. Good job on that one!

All in all a good photo. No WOW factor here though.

Keep up the good work!

Your composition is a bit too centered. I would have cropped out one of the sides of this image to keep your eye from wandering to each side of the bluebells. Very nice lighting and good choice of subjects

I found it a bit distracting the greenery at the bottom being cropped or not included. Great shot though!

Nice backlighting and separation from the background.

I love the background, might have preferred a little less light on the flowers, though to avoid that burned out area.

excellent lighting.. i think a vertical crop would possibly make the subject stronger :) - setzler

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Matt...

This is an excellent capture. It looks like something I would expect to stumble across in a museum of fine photography... I'm so impressed with this image that I don't even feel qualified to 'critique' it at all. I see no flaw.

Maybe the tides are turning in the battle between good and evil. The light of heaven is shining through :)

Phenomenal shot...
