exposure, DOF, light are good. I think the arrangement and the color of the items impair the image.

I like this but I think you could have bounced more light on the cake to show it's texture.

Seems a bit dark and flat in terms of lighting. The meal itself looks nice but the pistachio pieces aren't ideal photographically as they just make it look messy. Also, whose finger is that at the top?! Crop it out!Also not keen on the way the ice-cream blocks the view of the spoon breaking up it's clean lines.
