Challenge: Six (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Location: Melbourne Australia
Date: Jan 21, 2008
Aperture: F2.8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/800
Galleries: Still Life, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Jan 20, 2008

 The Image: Had to get something in for the Birthday Party! Tried a couple of other ideas, but they didn't work out. I figured a food shot with cakes worked OK.

Bought the cakes and they moved in the box and all the cream lost it's edges! D'Oh!!! Anyhow, had to settle for a small aperture to blur out the background so this couldn't be seen. The two chocolate ones rolled over altogether and lost their cream...

The Edit: Very basic levels, USM, Noise Ninja, some blurring and colour adjustments.

Prediction: Not sure it will do better than 6.

This is a great shot, but then I am sure you know that. Good DOF.

Best,

Love this shot! It's absolutely excellent and very sweet (heh). Can't believe it didn't end in the sixes.

Super Duper!

Blows my cupcake shot out of the water. I'd say the #6 pushed you into a compositional situation that might not have been the best for the overall shot but the treatment is stunning nione the less.

Cheers!

I love how there are a lot of cup cakes in this picture but then the focal point is only on one and the rest are kind of a blur great job.

I really like how your focus was the cupcake in the front. You can still tell that there are six but you are also enriching the picture. Good job.
