New York Cheesecake With Fresh Raspberries
by Cuttooth

Comment:
I like the setup here the china compliments the texture of the dessert nicely and the use of rasberries and mint leaves adds just enough additional color to keep it from being to yellow. The positioning of the various elements here creates a nicely balanced shot all around.

It's all in how you look at it :) funny my wife walked in while I was voting and goes.."look its Nessy." I told her she was nut then scrolled down and saw the title and had to laugh. Funny story aside, this shot is nice enough reflections are decent and the lighting is Ok I personally would have gone a wee bit brighter but there is nothing inherently wrong with the brightness. Overall nice shot imo and thanks for the laugh.

Yummy, great portrait and incorporation of your little girl into this one. As someone who shoots his own children quite a bit I can certainly apreciate this. my only little criticism would be to clean your models fingernails before shooting anything involving hands, I've been guilty of forgetting this and is why I point it out. Other than that the colors here are nice and the eyes are sharp as they should be. Cute shot all around.

I like this one it tells a nice story, and is also has a pleasing cast to the colors you really feel the mist over the lake a nice photo indeed one of my top 3 for this challenge. One question kept bothering me...How did a person in a wheel chair get the kayak to the water? have this funny image inn my head of a guy with a kayak on his head like a hat wheeling his chair down a dirt path through the woods. Sorry had to share.

something similar ran through my head for this challenge, but went a different direction. I like this, a glimpse of what happens when we aren't responsible with our independence.
