bobccComment: This is a tough challenge to vote. I'm torn between "what are
you trying to do here" and "what do
I expect here". Further complicating matters is the question "what would I do here".
What I would expect would be a technically strong piece of eye-candy that would present the dessert in a way that I would want to at least sample it, if not order it. Along these lines I'm looking at technicals: backgrounds, distracting elements, exposure, sharpness. I'm also looking for creativity, imagination, and originality, which can make up for less than perfect technicals.
So, where does this leave me with your image?
Nice idea, but a little over-exposed and unbalanced. You might want to play with some different compositions, such as moving the one on the right a little further back. Also play with turning the one on the left some in order to get more sense of depth (with all the fruits appearing on the same plane, it's flatter than need be). Lastly, I would have swapped the back tart with the right tart, as the darker topping is a little off-putting.
All the same, not a bad effort!
