I like the perspective you chose for this shot, with the two front cookies gesturing, almost, towards the scene beyond, like they opened a door and are beckoning you in. A really fun image, expertly conceived and shot.
EXCELLENT!!! I'm still trying to figure out how you got all those snowy sparkles to float like that. Congratulations on a well-deserved honorable mention.
What a cool image. The border is a little heavy for me, and distracts a tiny bit. Really like the snow effect. Nice use of depth of field to get the mood you wanted. 9
I love the snowing sugar and the cookies. I love how they're standing up. how did you do it?//www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_vote_image.php?IMAGE_ID=746732#
