I love the subject. I feel like the pic isn't as sharp as it could be - perhaps it's just compressed from sve to web or perhaps it's the PP? Wish it were sharper. I also think the tree would pop more if you use the blank background of the sky more than the busy backdrop of the land - perhaps a lower angle.

Day 27 - Cherry

Comment by CNovack:
Finally getting around to finishing comments for the Dec. Side Challenge:-)

You have some beautiful rich color tones in this food composition. Good lighting shows off those deep rich chocolate browns that pop off the white plate. A black plate would not have allowed the rich hues of the browns nor the deep rich reds of the cherries to pop visually. Nice sharp focus shows us some wonderful details. My only critique is that the whipped cream on the top of the dessert looks like a shapeless mass - something I found out whipped cream does is very quickly lose it's shape with heat from lights or sunlight. The solution?: You fake it by using another material:-) Classic Soda Shoppe Banana Split The whipped cream is really white cake icing:-) Other than the whipped cream topping this is a great food shot - could appear in a food magazine.

Such a pitty so many voters gave you 1's and 2's etc, I wonder if more out of lack of knowledge with all of AA'S work. You took a chance on an obscure image of his and produced an image with clarity, more than I can say about some that landed in the 6's. Bravo to you. This IMO should have scored higher.

Interesting divide between the bottle and the cheese. Looks very much like advertising. Great job!
