Challenge: Recipe (Food) IV (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D3
Lens: Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 VR
Date: Jul 27, 2011
Galleries: Macro, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Jul 27, 2011

 I used Nikon transfer to import the images into the computer. Apparently it changes the exif. So it's a DQ, oh well I'm not changing my work flow to fit DPC so I'll just stop submitting. No biggie. I don't do that much here anyway.

Ingredients

1 cup warm milk (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup margarine, melted
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons bread machine yeast

1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, softened

1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

Place ingredients in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select dough cycle; press Start.
After the dough has doubled in size turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, cover and let rest for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1/3 cup butter and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 rolls. Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

You must retain your original, unedited file (exactly as recorded by your camera), and provide it to the Site Council along with a list of your editing steps within 48 hours of any validation request. Files that have been saved or altered with any editing or transfer software are NOT originals.

No worries I switched to Nikon and didn't realize their transfer software did something to exif on import. Oh well not going to change my work flow for DPC so I just won't be submitting anymore.

Not a horrible photo, but just kind of boring to me.

Feels out of balance, but I still want to eat it.

mmmmm. Well done and um... I want some. I may just have to go off of my diet and go get some cinnabon after work today.

Not a huge fan of the double border on this one, I think it might have done better with just the letterbox.

I think you may have had a stronger image if you had taken the picture from the top, allowing for a big square crop, using the plate as the background and filling the screen with cinnamon roll. The skinniness of the image doesn't do much for your presentation. Would gladly eat the roll though any day. ;)

Coming back to comment after voting earlier. Great lighting on your subject that shows off the nice golden crisp brown of the cinnabon along with the white sugary-sweet tasting frosting. Simple presentation with a widescreen view giving the viewer 'the big picture'. The widescreen view however contrasts with the small size of the cinnabon on the plate - meaning a smaller plate would make the cinnabon fill the screen more in conjunction with the 'big' feeling one gets from a widescreen view. Overall, a great simple and clean presentation of this sweet treat:-)

I like how you used a platter with some color, and a textured surface. Might have been nice to see some of the icing dripping down the side, or have a bite out of it with icing on the plate so you see it while being eaten to add some drama.
