Not sure how this will do. It was a good excercise for me in dealing with white indoors. Yes, I intentionally left the hand soft focus to force attention to the circles. I'm sure I'll get told about it.

For this contest everyone who has the word “circle” in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge – we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest – but scores are all I have.
So simple! So neat! First thought that came to mind was, "Why couldn't I think of this!" The very best of luck. Would bumb it up from 7 but the hand (and I realize it is not the main subject) is somewhat fuzzy. One other note . . . and I rtealize I am getting picayune. . . there is a fingerprint between 12 and 1. Ok! there is more. (Please understand I am only making all these comments because I think it is so neat and would like future attemps to make it.) Hot spots (white areas need to be toned down with a flash or light diffuser. Somewhat over sharpend. And finally. . .whole milk not skim!
This would have worked so much better without the hand - it distracts from the purity of the circles in this image - the spoon would have been enough of a counterpoint.
Great job getting the background to be such a clean white - that's something I always have trouble with myself. Your focus and color are both great - nice shot.
Neat idea! I think a different backdrop would have worked better with this shot to draw more focus to the plate and ultimately the cereal itself... - 6 - JeB
