Nice colors and compostion. I like all of the different textures in the bread. I think what hurt you in this challenge is that some of the voters didn't get it. I still don't. Is it supposed to mean, "Missing your love?" It went right over my head. I do like the soft lighting in this picture too. It is very nice. This picture makes me hungry. I do not think about friendship or love when I look at it--just food. I really don't know what else to say....I do like the photo very much, I even think you could sell it very easily. Maybe not to a greeting card company, but this would make a fantastic photograph to hang in a bakery!
Well exposed and interesting shot but....I'm not normally a stickler for titles but IMO this challenge had very defined rules about the title and you seem to have pushed the boundry a bit far with your punny title.
I think this would have been more effective if the missing loaf was in the middle of the grouping somewhere, and perhaps some better lighting, but still a nice creative attempt.
