YUMMY!! Man, I want some ice cream now!! I love what you chose to take a picture of. My few suggestions would have been to have more light and tone down the hot spot. I think that it needs to be present because you can see that it is smooth and shiny. I love the background, however, I wish there was more detail in the ice cream and hot fudge. Overall-I think that this is a nice shot. And the reason I feel that it is not GREAT for this challenge is because a cherry has no texture to it. It looks the same real close up as it does from a normal distance. There is nothing revealed by the camera that you can't see for yourself. I think what makes a GREAT macro is when the camera has zoomed in sooo much that textures and colors are noticed only by your image and not right away by your eye. I hope this was helpful, I'm trying to get better at this. Good luck to you and God Bless.

Good idea. I think I would have liked it better with a more colorful backround.

I like the subject (yum!) and I think the composition is very nice. The black background along with the dark red cherry makes the picture too dark IMO. Nice work.

I like how the chocolate blends into the background. Makes you think there is a sea of hot fudge behind it all!

It's nice to see something besides a flower or a bug. I like the composition of ths a lot with the black background and the vibrant red. Good luck.

to dark for my taste.

Creative and excellent composition. I would have liked to see the light on the stem to be a bit more consistent.

the spot of light on the cherry needs to be cloned out
