For those interested, here's the recipe I followed. It was pretty easy to make actually. One step that's not in this recipe is when the baking is done, turn off the stove and leave the cheesecake in there for 4-5 hours, making sure to not open the oven door during the entire baking and cooling down process. Then refrigerate the cake overnight. Letting it cool down slowly will prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Enjoy :)

| Congrats on the blue; well deserved. I now know why it appealled to me so much - I always love natural light and use it most of the time and with the same lens. And, the cheesecake is gorgeous; thought it was store bought. |

It's interesting to me... to find this here (DON'T GET ME WRONG! I'm self-evaluating)
Every time I view this, I find myself scrolling down ... unconsciously cropping off the top part... and wishing the left were cropped to compliment.
It seems ... "too big" for the subject... the composition, I mean.
I've studied it several times.
I congratulate you on your ribbon (wholeheartedly), but I'm trying to figure it out... I think I'm crazy.
Do you agree? Oh wait! Please... don't answer that.
I do love it that you ribboned... I just wonder about... me.
*sigh*

| Nice lighting, focus and color balance. In judging this challenge I don't ask "Does this photo make me want to eat this?" -- I ask "Would I want to hang this on my wall?" This is good technically and might be a good photo for a foodie magazine, but it isn't that exciting for an artistic photo. I feel there are too many elements in the photograph (cheesecake and more cheesecake, a cup and another cup) and the background elements demand too much attention. |

| Great use of the textures in the table cloth, raspberries, mint, dishes, and cheesecake. Well-lit, great exposure, and very pretty. I would have liked to see a much closer crop and a less static angle though. I really only look at about 30% of this image, dead center, bottom half. |

| I love the lighting in this, it screams afternoon tea (coffee), maybe with a window open to let in a Summer breeze, listen to the birds, enjoy a quiet moment... and those raspberries look so nice and fresh, if I could reach down and snag one I would! |

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?
Excellent work! Not only perfect on the technicals, it makes me want to sit down and ask for a fork. The rich detail, the composition - I can't say enough. I really love how light and airy this feels. |

| I like the setup here the china compliments the texture of the dessert nicely and the use of rasberries and mint leaves adds just enough additional color to keep it from being to yellow. The positioning of the various elements here creates a nicely balanced shot all around. |

Voted earlier coming back to comment.
Lighting is excellent on this composition. The set-up of elements is light, bright, and airy making the dessert look inviting and tasty to eat. Details in the desserts and all the other afternoon teatime is what makes this an appealing image to both drink in and have a bite. Well done, I have no suggestion on how this image could be improved. |
