Irish Soda Bread bokeh

Comment:
The overall picture seems a little dark to me. I like the restricted DOF, but I wonder whether focussing on the exposed internal texture of the bread at right might make for a more interesting textural study.

I think this might benefit from a slightly deeper depth of field, so that the orange wedge could be in focus and provide a textural contrast to the bread. I also wonder whether a slightly higher point of view might add to the setup.

The spirit level on my tripod begs to differ. ;-)

Seriously though, it is difficult to see where "level" should be in this picture, as there are no convenient reference points. The bridge in the background is part of a banked curve on the Queensway. To confound things further, it is angled away from the viewer and on a slight downhill slope from right to left.

A compelling image, but I feel that this only meets the letter and not the spirit of the challenge. (Use a long exposure to create a dramatic effect.)

A technically well-executed picture, but I feel that this meets the letter but not the spirit of the challenge. (Generate a dramatic effect using long exposure.)

Interesting, almost "cartoony" feel to this image.
