Lovely product photo, but isn't the centre of attention slightly off? The abundance of circles draws my eye to the centre of the photo, but that's not where maximum interest is
Very yummy looking! Like the focus, the clear footed platter adds to the picture well, the red cherries really show well on the white icing and looks great surrounded by the chocolate chips. I think it would have worked even better from just a slightly higher angle to really show off the heart shape of the cherries, of course that is only my opinion. Good luck
Color, lighting, depth of field are all fine. General technical quality is good and background is OK. One suggestion would be to turn the torte such that the point of the heart is pointed directly at the viewer and edgepoints of the holder are level much the way a horizon would be made level.
This looks great but at this angle it is hard to see that there is a heart in the middle. Also wondering if a darker background would have looked better.
Lovely clean shot with great lighting on the product and lovely detail. The presentation is a bit flat - the central composition doesn't really strengthen the impact for me at all. I wonder if a really right crop taking out much of the cake stand would be stronger?
Nice presentation. Background is a little bland, would like to see some elements added for interest. Maybe some broken pieces of chocolate, a knife, etc.
