Ok, I'm officially weird. I laughed more on this picture than any other in the challenge. It's 120th out of 140.

I'd have given a 10 in the challenge if I wasn't so busy lately.

I know you were itching to give it more, but you could have done without the sprinkles maybe? Try increasing DOF perhaps?

I might also have liked a Sepia tone or a 1920's style heavy yellow lighting?

This is really a good pun - It might have looked better in color.

Ingenius, but the picture could have been a little better. Toom much of your flash in the photo.

clever. I think color might have worked better than black and white here.

Funny take on the pun. This shot is very unapitizing in B&W. Color and beter focus might have helped.

Nice concept, I think color would have really added to this picture, it seems a tad dark to me. Good composition.
