Greetings from the Critique Club
I'll begin with my first impression, which was "aweee sweet". Then I began looking at the details -- The shadows on the left and right sides catch my eye first, very distracting. Next the reds, they are very oversaturated to the point that they aren't quite red anymore and lastly the overall issue that probably hurt this image's score more than anything - there are halos around all of the rose petals and some of the cookies - overprocessed, but I can't quite put my finger on why - its not oversharpening - unless blur was used after - just looks odd.
I like the composition - with a tighter crop (cropping out the shadows on the sides) and reprocessing I'm sure this will be quite nice.
I hope I have been helpful.

Attached you will find the photo that I MEANT to upload @ 11:58!!!!
The copy I submitted was one that I was playing around with in the effects department! i.e. lighting, shadows, colored pencil, charcoal, mosaic and what not. Just got Photoshop 4.0 and was experimenting. When I realized what I had done, the site was already closed to enter the correct one. Just having lost all the fingers on my left hand a coulple years ago, the cutting of the cheese and butter hearts was very tedious for me, and I put a lot of work into it!!! Only been digital imaging for a couple of months now, and so greatlt appreciate the help and guidance I rec'v from all in the forum threads. If you have time, i would greatly appreciate your input on the REAL one, and I graciously thank you in advance.
Sincerely,

Good concept but the lighting is going to hurt you on this one. The darkness of the photo and the fall off on the plate means time to invest in lights. Best of luck 6
