You know Terry, I kind of thought this was yours. I've never seen a halo burger anyplace but Flint. Good job.

I loved it, Terry. The lighting had exactly the kind of slightly fuzzy halo effect the title implied.

Interesting choice of a red border for the picture - I'm sure you picked it because of the product logo but it's pretty high contrast on the blue background. Overall, the image seems too softened to me (which you're probably thinking "um, yeah, the point of heavenly?!?) but it's too distracting for my taste.

Burger (especially lower half is too dark - almost like they're hiding the mystery meat!

Nice clouds, food could use more light on the front.

Burger could show more detail, just a bit too much in shadow. Would have been nice to see some light shadows to "sit" the objects in the clouds; as is they appear to be floating in space rather than part of the scene.

Love the concept. Heavenly. Clear shot with good contrast.
I'm sure some people will tell you they don't like the red border. I do - I think it works well.

angle makes food look small, you usually see fast food shot almost from below so it looks like there's more. Good try though, and great backdrop. 6

background fit! for a product shot though, I would have liked to see a full thing of fries and a beautifully composed burger. possible different lighting

Although the burger itself is hard to see (dark), I like the cloud-like background - goes with the name on the cup.

good attempt, perfect for the challenge, think the lighting is hurting this. Seems a bit flat, and too dark on the front of the burger.
