Not a bad shot but I donĂ¢€™t see the bokeh effect, the blur background should have a circular pattern to it.

Interesting capture. I like the choice of the foreground subject to enhance the background but the bokeh needs to be more prominent.

Green Eggs And Ham
by Friskycat3

Comment by Friskycat3:
I actually tried to make the ham and eggs green a number of different ways with no luck and finally got the idea to paint the food dye on. I'm not sure what you mean about the yolk turning see-through, but basically I poached two eggs and used a tiny paintbrush with food coloring to paint the color on. Same goes for the ham, but that was definitely a lot easier haha.

Ahhh! I was so upset with this picture. We had guests at our house the day the challenge ended and I hadn't done my picture in advance so I ended up taking it the night it was due. Unfortunately, in my haste to get the photo in on time (I got it on my computer around 11:57pm) I submitted the WRONG picture and left my beautiful creamy dark chocolate picture on my computer desktop.... I had been playing around with a few ideas and took a ton of "tester shots" to see what different things would look like on the computer, and of course I submitted one of the worst versions. I got so many comments about how bad the lighting was and I just wanted to say "I know! I agree! Wrong picture!!" but I guess that's just how it goes. Oh well...

In my opinion, too much and too harsh a light. It looks like it was lit by the flash which was too close to the subject. Maybe try natural light or a separate light source off to the side and at a lower angle.
