Wow that anti-shake feature really does work!
I'm going to have to agree that the color cast is too much - add some green :)

The theme and composition of this photo are both excellent but the color cast is having a negative impact on the 'flavor' of this photo. You should also try to use the maximum size available to post photos to challenges. It makes it easier to enjoy the detail :)

Oooh, my pet hate is white balance problems. If the shot doesn't look right, try some different white balance options, and use manual if you have to. Tasty subject though, although I don't like the look of the fried-egg flavour in the background. :) Oh, you could try some sharpening to give the image more impact.

I like the composition and the color cast (which I think is a plus in this case).

Nice idea, but it seems like the colour balance is off

you really need to watch for color casts especially when photographing food. DOF is good.

I think this is a great idea but I'd prefer the picture if it wasn't so "red" looking (even the stainless steel looks pink). I also think having a few more flavours of ice cream in different colours would have added to the "indulgent" feel and made the picture more interesting to look at. I do like this though!

The colors look off some how. The pans should be silver but have a bad color cast.
