Challenge: Best Friends (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: Kohler, Wisconsin
Date: Mar 15, 2005
Aperture: f20
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/30
Galleries: Still Life, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Mar 15, 2005

 Lit by an off camera SB-800 diffused through a reflector and bounced off a white board on the opposite side. Cookies and glass sat on 2 pieces of shiny poster board. Wasn't large enough on its own to create a continuous roll so had to join two together. Wish I could spot edit the join! The cookies are Orios (of course) which for those non Americans (and I am one!) are the best friends of a glass of cold milk. Will probably get slaughtered again as I have been on every challenge recently, but I am determined not to give up! If nothing else this was an exercize in lighting and it ain't perfect but I do like the reflection. Curves, levels, crop, resize, USM

Great subject idea. I love the half-eaten Oreo and the crumbs.

I value the fact that you opted for a different approach of the challenge. However, the subject is not an interesting one (but it does seem delicious). Perhaps you could improve this photo by getting rid of the grey background (I see it grey on my monitor) and turning it white. Nice try, though.

Nice composition, something about the lighting that bothers me a little, the partially eaten oreo seems a little washed out. Nice job though.
