Location: Melbourne Australia
Date: Jul 21, 2008

 The Image: After bombing so badly in the Recipe Challenge, I thought I would try again in the Sugar Challenge with a food image...I love to do food images, but haven't had a great deal of success.

I used window light and handheld the camera.

The Edit: Levels, Contrast, Colour Balance, USM. I then tweaked the image bit by bit with levels and curves, d and b, blur and sharpen till I got the image I wanted. I know people will mark me down for the blur and contrastbut it's what I wanted.

Prediction. 6.0000 ?

Post: I guess thirteenth isn't bad for this...better luck next time

13th happens to be my favorite placing, so it's a good thing in that respect. This is woefully underrated, though. Very well done.

This is so beautiful with the natural lighting. Very impressive that this was a hand-held shot. I came back tho to see what the title was about lol. It all looks so yum!

I don't know of another photographer on this site that is better than Enzo at food photography. It's a joke this didn't finish higher.

I love this shot but fear that it is a bit subtle for the DPC crowd. I give it a 9 though.
