Sweet Pies, Tarts and Cakes

Thank you for entering something really pleasant to look at and for sticking to the theme. Sumptuous and magnificent. These are the first words that came to my mind looking at this image. I like the way you arranged the fruit on and around the tart, and the mood in your ligthing. All colors complement each other very well, and the warm tones and textures are the perfect finish. My judging was based on:

1. Effort
2. Creativity
3. Composition
4. Originality
5. Skills Congratulations. Enjoy your first place.

Mouth watering and sublime chocolate and coffee. I am a fan of moody lighting, always being careful to not lose any detail, and you definitely made it work here. Appreciate the textures and the nice composition. The coffee beans complete the image. Very well done, congrats.

Beatiful creation. The “less is more” say, fits perfectly to this lovely image. Simplicity works at its best in this case. Beautiful depth of field and lovely tones, and a nice finish. Congratulations. Judging based on skills, creativity, composition, effort.

Lovely combination of colors, nice creativity, and without any doubt, a good effort while working on this picture. I definitely appreciate (and base my judging) on the effort one makes to create something pleasant to watch. The addition of the greenery gives the image a fresh touch and fills the frame. I do find the ligthing hitting the top of the tarts in the foreground, a bit too harsh. A few details got lost there on the left side, but all in all, a very nice image. Congratulations.

Gorgeous image. The diversity of textures and the carefully chosen range of colours are admirable. Your composition skills and your eye for detail are brilliant. Cropping the image on the right side, is a interesting touch. I definitely love the golden tones. One can only appreciate the time and effort you clearly put while creating this image. Congratulations on your well deserved 2nd. place. Judging based on:
