For this challenge I really wanted to do something with food -- for me, food is a simple (and sometimes not so simple) pleasure. Leasurely breakfast on the weekend is the perfect start of the day.

The idea for the photo is not mine, I've seen a spoon with cereal and raspberries elsewhere but wanted to give it a try at food styling (much harder than it sounds) and food fotography.

Thank you for your votes

Critique Club Review:

Nice sharp detail with a good depth of field. Lighting is good. Color, saturation and hue are very good.

I'm going to have to go with the others and say that the green background is unappealing. Just doesn't seem to fit with the food.

I would like to have seen some milk in the spoon. I don't eat cereal dry, but my niece does, so it isn't huge on that point. (I hear they use white glue for the milk.) I also hear they spray the fruit with oil to make them look fresher. The berries do not look bad here, but is a thought.

For a backround a bowl of cereal, ceral box, several ideas come to mind. Whether they were rendered sharp or soft with a shallow depth of field, I think it might have worked better and the angle of the spoon less critical.

Interesting picture. Maybe try a different color background. The green takes away from the natural look in the cereal.

Having the spoon more off center would have gained another point.
