For the month's challenge. I must confess this is an older shot. Struggling with macro at the time....

  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)

  Well that's interesting. Certainly very simple...i a lot of ways!

Nicely done.

  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?

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
