This is really cool. ..unfortunately, I have to mark you down because I now have a sweet tooth and will probably go indulge myself and it's all your fault for having such an enticing photo :) (juuuuuuuust kidding!!!!!)

I really do like it alot. It's clean and sharp, and the composition of the cookie being half eaten is perfect! A genius display of creativity in taking the simple and making it awesome!

I like where you are going with this. Consider a bit less contrast perhaps, as shadow is nearly indistinguishable (sp?) from cookie.

Gorgeous shapes, and a creative take on reflections, as the challenge called for.

Critique Club Review:

Technical: Color, saturation and hue are excellent. Focus is nice and sharp.

Reaction: The challenge is the background, and the background is beautiful. However, the shadows on the leaves make them look as if they are damaged or dying. On several of the leaves the shadows at first look like brown dead spots.

When I look at the picture, I wonder what it might have looked like with only the single leaf that is broadside to the viewer. That one makes a great contrast to the background. As is, there is not really a single point of focus in the foreground to hold the eye for comparison against the background.

Even so, I sure do love that background. Nice work.
