This is a New York Cheesecake recipe that I had been wanting to try forever. When the challenge came up, I decided to try it out. It was a little undercooked (argh!!) but it still tasted great. I'm hoping to score above a 5 on this, preferably above 5.5

Looks tempting. The dark background doesn't make it look very cheery (like a dessert should) I think - makes the dripping blood-red cherries look ominous actually...

ok, guess I am being picky...but if you had turned the cheesecake around..you will notice...most restaurants show a piece of cheesecake that is turned...this is because you as the patron sees themselves taking the fork and digging in...it is marketing...otherwise a great shot...

Not too sure about the registration of the subject, but the cheesecake does look quite delicious!

Good subject, though I feel maybe a lighter background would have been a better choice.

This is probably going to sound a little weird, but I feel like the positioning of the cheesecake looks like its got its back turned to me. I don't like feeling rejected by cheesecake. :(

Mouthwatering ... my favorite kind of cake! For me a light background would have worked better.

More a photo of food than of cooking.
