I'm not partial to candy sprinkles, but my God that ice cream looks tasty. Excellent food photography, and the choice of color for the background is a perfect color for the theme, though the backdrop gets a bit dark at the top. Great clarity, lighting, and melt control! :-)

I would of like the effet of having these candy toppings falling behind the ice cream cone.

Great capture, looks very yummy. IMO the brightness/contrast could have been kicked up a touch. Second time viewing it and I'm gonna kick it up a notch higher on the score board :) nice work!!

very good details on the cone - the lighting is great on the bottom of the cone but seems not as even on the ice cream itself - and the colors seem just a bit too vibrant
