**** Greeting from the Critique Club ****

Okay first impression at voting and now: Very cheesy, pun intended.

Next when you request a critique, please be sure to give us a much information to work with as possible See //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=272219.

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? The use of ?construction paper? meats on the pizza seems to be an attempt at humor that I don't quite understand. I can empathize as I have a very dry sense of humor and think that I am funny when others disagree. I like tha off centered plate, although I might have turned the pizza crust down and right to make it easier to grab. ;)
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes
- Good focus? Yes

Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes. The reflection give dimension to the plate, however maybe soften the lighting a little.
- Good use of shadows? Unfortunately ther are no shadows with this viewpoint.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- Colors and Contrast. I would have to say that the plate and pepperoni's are not the same color is the first thing that I notice. It bothers me, but maybe I am a bit anal about these things. Change the plate. Go with purple or white or something different. To keep the eye from judging the differences.
- Sharpness. Nicely done.
- What is my reaction or feelings? I don't get it, to be honest. Which shape am I evaluating? The plate? The pizza? The pepperoni? I think it's the last, but I am not certain.

Love the colours. It looks slightly OOF from here but that may be just because the tomatoe doesn't look right

The pepperoni looks like construction paper to me but great idea for a graphic shot. Lighting is good too, highlights are a bit harsh on the plate.

Something doesn't seem quite right with the pepperoni. Also, I don't know if it would be possible to avoid, but three of the reflections of light are very white and distracting. Very dramatic choice of colors though.

Is that a tombstone? Lol... good photograph... Make sure you get yourself out of the reflection in future shots, but it's really well balanced.
