I apologize but this image isn't that appealing really. Food is very hard to capture but this is just a tad weak. The amount of noise is also quite distracting.

the red background doesn't do anything for me and the ice cream is too melty to look that yummy but I love that you captured that one drop.

Lots of noise. Seems to lack a bit on the focus side too.

Off balance a hair to the left... as in, the cone is not straight. I like the capture mid-drip.

The lighting is bad, and the placement is junk too. And the ice cream looks nasty.

if this were sharper, with less noise or grain....this wouldve been really great especially with the drip on the side.

Clever title, interesting concept, but image quality not very good. And the ice cream looks like bird crap. Sorry!

creative but i think the ice cream looks kinda rotten and not appealing

Great idea, great title, however red background too harsh and the ice cream looks like an unnatural color and too fuzzy.

Lots of noise...focus is soft. Lighting is odd

I like the idea but the photo seems a bit too grainy for me. I do like how you caught the one drip in mid-air though.

Title pulls off this shot. The rippled flavor shows off the texture but the drips might have looked good in white.

IMHO focus is soft lighting is harsh and red dosen't work with this subject. Possibly a plain black or white background would have worked better.6

This seems a little out of focus and grainy to me. I apologize if this is on purpose. I do like the frozen drip of melting icecream though.

Appears out of focus

The lighting is good in this picture and the drop is nice. However, the slight lean of the ice cream cone, the grainy red background, the lack of focus and the run of black down the cone makes for a very unappealing picture as a whole.

I like the title. The shot has a few too many shadows in it, may have benefitted from a light diffuser. ALSO it is a tad too blurry for my taste.
