Challenge:Recipe (Food) II (Basic Editing III) Camera:Sony DSC-F717 Location: my friend's kitchen Date: Jan 10, 2006 Aperture: 2,062 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/50 s Date Uploaded: Jan 10, 2006
OK, this is not hard. You need some fruit (I took red and green aples, and a tangerine), some whole nuts and raisins, honey, dark chocolate, choco decorations, whipped cream and a cherry. First you cut the fruit and mix it with nuts and raisins. You make a small colorful bunch on the plate. Then you add the honey. Melt the dark chocolate and pour it all over the mixture in all kinds of movements. You can even become creative (the small heart was made out of chocolate dots, I used a thick needle). Finally, you add some whipped cream, choco decorations and you finish it with a cherry on top! And there you go... Nuts, apples and honey are considered to be a good aphrodisiac! Special thanks to my friends Vlada and Natasha
About the photo... The background cloth was dark blue, and when I saw the pics on the screen, I just didn't like it... Since I'm still not good at editing, I tried to make it look gray or black, but there are spots that don't look nice, I know... but it's still better than blue...

Decadent desserts always make good subjects for photography. This one is no exception. You have done a super job with composition and technical quality. Side lighting works well.
This looks tasty and the picture is good although I am thinking a bit about the shadow on right. I am not sure if the chockolate decoaration on the dish is taking from the picture or adding to it.
Pleasing colors, nice focus, I like the little touches you have added to the photo; the chocolate heart, the hand reaching for the cherry, the angle- Good luck, nicely done
