Challenge: Met the challenge, but the play on words may have turned some people off.
Composition: As clever and creative as this shot it, it does come off a bit flat. Did you use an on-camera flash for lighting? The blue plate adds some nice contrast.
Overall: Very cute idea and a very refreshing change to the pi (pie) competition!
I don't find this very attractive. The composition is flat and static, with a centred square. It would be better with a lower angle and shallow DOF to add depth and pull the eyes to a stronger focal point. Parts of the photo are overexposed.
A square pie: fun and clever. I really think the round plate behind adds to this image a lot by referring to pi's function in circle building. It seems just a little out of focus.
Composition/ Content I really like the square crop and the inclusion of the circular plate behind. It’s a nice abstract shape to have a square and circle intersecting within the larger square of the image.
The light is just a tad harsh – it’s blowing out the edges of the tinfoil and some of the lighter areas of crust.
Also – did you use any kind of polarizing filter? I am wondering whether that would cut down on glare from the pie gelatin surface.
Background Nice clean white.
Fits The Challenge I think so – it’s a humourous take but one that does also include that circle.
My Opinion On The Photo Fun and nicely composed though not an image I’d necessarily look twice at outside of this challenge.
