[Leica] IMG thanksgiving...

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

I bet it was delicious. While I love rich blacks in BW shots, for me, this 
one renders the chocolate so dark as to make it look like
oil or gloss back paint, if you like.
I think that the tone might work better in colour to give the chocolate some 
context, maybe. A visual clue. Can we see this in
colour? Food in BW is a hard one, I think.

Cheers
Geoff

Nice lines, but the reflection on the bottom of the cake does draw my eye 
away from the "action". Needs a little digital magic ;-)

Cheers

my thanksgiving was celebrated with a bunch of French people who,   
well...approach thanksgiving a little differently...

(and yes we also has turkey...)
