  • You have to do like the photographers who take photos for modern cookbooks. They collect different planks and pieces of "texture" at flea markets so they have a small "library" of interesting flat backgrounds for their photos. ;) I'm sure the oven to stomachs time was very short. :) (My local food store sends me this free magazine every month. It always contains good ideas for food photos. :)) --cart-Talk 09:55, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I really doubt some restaurant would put this kind of shot on Menu. Food shots are very special, they need something much more than (your words) Unfortunately, the tart was put on an uncertain kitchen table older than me, with undefinite color (see original version). I had to eliminate the plate too. And as you can imagine, I had to work quickly before the disappearance of the "thing... Whats is wrong here, probaly everything except (maybe) projection. Its staged shot, needs lot of time and preparation. --Mile (talk) 12:43, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is not a picture for a menu, and I disagree about the idea that any good picture needs lot of time and preparation, even if in this case, the post-processing (masking) took some time, indeed. I think that probably everything is wrong in your (a bit patronizing) review. Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 15:27, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Jebulon please, I invite you to not take it personally, please be polite to the people who have dedicated their time to make a constructive criticism. --The Photographer 15:55, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I never was "unpolite". I think reviewers should be polite to the people who have dedicated their time to make and share a picture in "Commons". the quote "Whats is wrong here, probaly everything except (maybe) projection" is not really polite. The review was not about the picture, but a commentary about what I have given as explanations. Therefore I don't feel it as a "constructive criticism" as it should be. Thanks.--Jebulon (talk) 09:20, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Measured support Perhaps the image's perceived WB problems came from the original background. But the detail, particularly on the wet parts, is excellent and watching it slowly clarify at full-res was appetizing even though I'm not a big fruit-pie eater.

  •  Oppose Neither the black background nor the top view work for me. Food has to be presented on a nice plate and in a nice surrounding. --Uoaei1 (talk) 08:54, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Not bad, but not particularly WOW. Seems overprocessed too: the flashlight reflections are unnaturally dark (perhaps too much brightening of highlights) Sorry --A.Savin 17:48, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Background -- Ryan Hodnett (talk) 05:53, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Difficult one. As an example of "food photography" it doesn't work for all the reasons given by the opposers. See Plate to Pixel: Digital Food Photography & Styling for a decent book on this kind of thing, which as Cart notes does indeed call for styling the context with rustic tables, cloths and crockery. And natural daylight works best apparently. But Jebulon offered this as a "work of art". I'm not that keen on cutting objects out onto a black/white/transparent background vs achieving that at exposure time with controlled lighting. It rarely looks convincing. The round subject does suit a clock-face viewpoint here. There's something odd about the lighting, though. In many of the highlights is a patch of grey. I don't know if this is some post-processing of burnt highlights gone wrong, or an unfortunate reflection of the wall/ceiling. I think the white-balance is also wrong, and a little green. Looking at the original version, I see the plate is off white and correcting the white-balance using the plate makes the colours look a bit better. -- Colin (talk) 16:57, 8 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Black background doesn't work for me here, sorry. --Ivar (talk) 07:20, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
