Challenge: Conflict (Basic Editing I)
Collection: What Was I Thinking?
Camera: Canon PowerShot G2
Location: Easton, CT
Date: Feb 23, 2004
Aperture: f2.5
ISO: 50
Shutter: 1/6
Date Uploaded: Feb 23, 2004

 Four sundaes and about 100 shots to get this! Even outdoors in the cold, I only had a few minutes before the whipped cream melted. I think it was worth the effort, though. I had other shots with a better sundae, but this one had better light quality. Cropped, levels, unsharp mask, and some overall hue adjustment for the white balance.

Thanks for the comments everyone! By the votes and comments, I note that several people didn't see this as Conflict! LOL Not my best shot, but I did have four nice consolation prizes... ;-)

Looks like a product shot. I mean that in a good way. These are hard to do. A little hot on the left side of the ice cream, but a pretty good composition and exposure job.

Very sharp, good lighting. I like the humorous subject instead of all these chess piece shots we're getting.

Nicely done. Little bit of uneven lighting, but still a good entry.

Yum! Good color coordination between the red cherry and the red pointer. Nice lighting, good detail. The only thing I can see that might improve it (and I'm not sure it would be an improvement, really) would be to show the top of the scale to match with the roundness of the bowl. I appreciate the view of "conflict" without the violence.

too much light on the left side, but otherwise a good show of conflict
  Photographer found comment helpful.

More of a cause and effect than conflict, but I do see it, and I think it was nicely done.
