I didn't think this was great, but it is my first attempt at doing some sort of food shot. I was trying to do something different - and I s'pose I did, just not to any greatly appreciable degree. :)

my personal opinion is that the very shallow depth of field doesn't work in this case....I'd like to see this same picture with the entire plate in focus
I like what you were going for here - but my preference would be for a depth of field that covers the subject, the slice of dessert. The tip is in sharp focus, but I would like to see the focus extend to the decorative leaves.
I know that the blur is on purpose, but.. it would have been better to get the entire cake in focus and blur the surrounding areas. Also, you might want to not cut off the edge of the plate. Ive learned this in the past... over all. I love the colors and the choice of photo. This is Heaven :)
