Critique Club Critique
(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) I find the layout of this photograph to be very strong. You can almost never go wrong by getting as close as possible. This allows little details to be seen that normally would be invisible to the eye.
(2) BACKGROUND There is not much background in this photograph. I like how the left side is more brightly lit and the right side falls into shadows, give more depth to the photograph. There is such a small amount of background that it almosst fails to be a part of the picture.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure is very well done. Your exposure keeps the whites very crisp without losing any of the detail in the whipped cream. The shallow DoF tends to focus the eye directly on the mound of whipped cream in the center of the cup. I am wondering if you tried this also with a deep DoF and chose this one for that reason. I would be curious to see it both ways.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL Your post processing is very good. Saturation is good, cropping is perfect.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. This is the sort of photograph that would look very nice hung on the wall of a coffeeshop.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is nice. The way you executed it is very good. Unfortunately it has very little "wow" appeal. It does not hold my attention for long enough to see past the first impression. |

| Definetely gets the taste beds working! Focus doesn't seem quite sharp enough on the top of the cream, the use of DOF is good however. |

| a smaller apature setting and perhaps tripod would help clear the shot up and increase the depth of focus |

| This is very pleasant. I like the curly patterns in the cream and the chocolatey froth around the outside. The cropping is maybe a tiny bit too close. The shallow DOF is great, bringing the focus to the upper mound of cream. Nice work. |

| Looks good, yummy. Focus seems just a bit soft. A little powdered chocolate or cinamon on top might have really given it some oomph. |

| I love the crop and angle on this, but the focus is a little soft around the edges for my taste, I think. |

| I'm putting on weight looking at this. Yum. Light is a little weak and gives this an odd hue. |

| This could stand to be just a little clearer. The lighting is odd, but I like how the left background is brown and the right side is black. - Inspzil |

| I really like the close-in crop, and even the lighting is good. I'd like to see just a touch more overall sharpness, though, I think. But it's the most appetizing shot I've seen so far. |
