Holy cow Cindi, this is your shot? I think you got really lucky with a 5.4...
1) The whipped cream is blown
2) The picture is oversharp (look at the reflections on the chocolate cream layer)
3) There is something in the left corner which doesn't belong in the background.
4) It's centered.
5) It's static.
Ouch. I'm only so harsh cuz I know you are capable of far better. Did you put Rikki's army under retainer? ;)
I'm surprised this was a 5.4 even though it didn't say "bits and pieces" to me. It's still a great photo thus your 41 votes of 7 or better. it is a great photo just not right for the challenge.
You captured this shot perfectly. I always thought if a food shot made you hungry then it was a great shot. You certainly accomplished that. Great DOF too.
Is this one the one sold at BURGER KING? Looks very similar. Still so tasty, I am going to give you a 10 just because is CHOCOLATE!!! Lucky the one who got the opportunity to ate it!!! MMMmmmmmmm......
