For the month's challenge. I must confess this is an older shot. Struggling with macro at the time.... #1500942Dale Hardin November 29, 2012
And a good subject for the challenge Elaine. A little volcano of goodness. The comp is very good and if you want to pop it just a bit, try adding a high pass filter at a fairly high setting of around 20 pixels and blend with the soft light blend.LOL. Get our your CDs on PSE and have at it girl. :o) #10439104

Well that's interesting. Certainly very simple...i a lot of ways!Nicely done. #10439110

Looks tasty! I think Dale's suggestion is spot on. #10439458Michael Kelly November 30, 2012
Makes my mouth water. I agree with Dale also. #10441905Peter W. Marks November 30, 2012
Sweet! #10442032Elaine Hessler November 30, 2012
You guys are too funny. Not appetizing at all for me. Now if it was a plate of cheese and crackers, perhaps with some wine-that would hit the spot!I'll give it a go Dale this weekend (hopefully!). Is high pass filter the same as "screen" on PSE to lighten it up? #10442340
Dale Hardin November 30, 2012
No, it is under "filter/other/highpass" You then blend that with the original layer using a blend mode, in this case, the soft light blend. #10442359Elaine Hessler November 30, 2012
Thanks-I'll e-mail if I run into trouble/confusion... #10442588Beth Spencer November 30, 2012
Very simple and makes my mouth water. I think the high pass filter will help. You did a great job for all of the white, because it is usually really hard to work with. #10443768Aimee C. Eisaman December 01, 2012
Well I like it and it looks yummy to me! :~) I think the suggestions offered will help give this the little bit of 'pop' that it needs. The composition works well as is, but I'm curious as to how it would look with a flip after your adjustments of course. #10444386Rita K. Connell December 01, 2012
yum.....can't wait to see dale's suggestion and I am with aimee wondering about a flip. #10444953Teresa H. Hunt December 01, 2012
Well that looks yummy! But a little cold for a winter day.I think your comp is really good. And working with white can be frustrating, I think you did a great job. I'm curious to see Dale's suggestions. #10445775

Ok here it is! #10447542Elaine Hessler December 02, 2012
Sorry about this-I have three of these photos and they all look the same. Here is the original post with the high pass filter and soft light blend. #10447552Aimee C. Eisaman December 04, 2012
Yes this looks very nice...this is one where you could take the original and do different hazy tones to give it different moods if you wanted to. :~) #10450712Debbie E. Payne December 05, 2012
Elaine. I love the monotone and the utter simplicity of this great image. You can just "taste" this -- yum... #10452755Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
