Greetings from the Critque Club.
A very tastefull subject, the image is sharp and clear. The composition is well throughthru, but the backgroud color is a bit too "dull" and takes away some focus of the actual subject. You could have increased brightness and contrast, and maybe used a multicolor background?
Good use of light, maybe a little more reflection would have improved the overall picture.
But overall, a very well done image. |

| not a fan of the chocolate and strawberry combo, but it looks quite tasty and your lighting of it was very good....the background does nothing for me or the subject, IMHO. |

I would say that this could be a better photo with a different colored background. Also, did you use that chocolate sauce that you melt in the microwave? It generally looks that course. True dipping chocolate is smoother and I think you could have had a better result.
The best thing is the composition of the subject. I like that alot.

| Good shot but I really don't like the orange background as it makes your subject flat. A black background would have been perfect. |

| I hate to be negative.For some reason, I found this has to be the most unapplealing shot's of a strawberry. The lighting is off it has a real dead spot on the lower left . you could try using a reflector oruse more lights to mold the berry bette and make it mor 3 dimensionalr. it is the color of the background that might be adding to my feeling about this shot. Normally don't give comment , you had a good idea. I'd give it another whirl using more light and experimenting with the background color. |

| Nice shot, and a good magazine cover, with a vertical format and space at the top that could carry type without spoiling the picture. |

| The drop looks a little edgy but a very nice shot nonetheless. |

| Great shot, I can see the space you've left for text / features etc. I think a little more light on the strawberry would have helped. Anyway, well done on meeting the challenge unlike many others. |

| I like the idea of using an actual magazine cover as inspiration. My recommendations would be to use better chocolate to provide a smoother surface (I use toll house dark chocolate morsels melted in the microwave under low power when I dip strawberries. Only heat for 10-15 seconds at a time and stir between heatings, it tends to burn quickly). Also, the background is to monotonous. Something with a bit of texture would have added some depth. |
