Janet, thank you! I love how you called it a "visual temptation"-exactly the vibe I was aiming for! You're right, a tighter crop definitely makes the image more focused and drool-worthy. Glad it stirred your appetite-that means the photo worked! |

Kurt, thank you! It means a lot that the cultural aspect came through-I was struck by the elegance of the display, even beyond the sweet tooth factor. Great catch on the lighting over the berry tart-I'll soften that in post. Appreciate the detailed and encouraging feedback! |

Rose, thank you for that thoughtful feedback. I'm glad the colors pulled you in-I felt the same thrill seeing them in person! I agree about the need for some trimming at the top; Lightroom is definitely calling my name for round two on this image. |

Angela, thank you! You're absolutely right-the top portion felt like an afterthought in hindsight, and your version is much stronger compositionally. I appreciate your eye for balance and simplicity-it's a great reminder that even dessert needs good framing! |

Doug, this is a beautifully observed and well-executed image. The moment you captured-the soft light on the monkey's face and its upward gaze-feels both intimate and majestic. Your post-processing choices, especially the warmth and vignette, subtly elevate the subject. I echo others on the background and top crop, but honestly, the spirit of the image shines through. A wonderful intersection of patience, timing, and storytelling. Well done! |

Angela, this is a fantastic example of how simplicity, light, and intention can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. The interplay of red and blue lighting creates a dynamic tension that brings depth and elegance to the folded paper. Even more impressive that this is straight out of camera-it shows mastery of both setup and vision. A bold, minimalist triumph-well done! |

Kurt, this is such a fascinating and vibrant capture-the "candy corn" resemblance brings a playful twist to a beautifully detailed macro shot. Your HDR technique brought out the textures and color so well. I agree with the others-Angela's background adjustment helps spotlight the subject even more. Still, your original shows thoughtful execution and creative curiosity. Well done on both the technical and storytelling fronts! |

Rose, this is a striking and well-balanced night composition. The decision to shoot during blue hour adds richness, and the reflections bring the scene to life. Your editing choices really enhance the mood without overwhelming the image. I also appreciate Kurt's note-leaving a few figures in might shift the story, but your clean, quiet version offers its own powerful narrative. Beautifully done!

Janet, what a wonderful moment to capture-curiosity meeting curiosity! The hummingbird moth has such a magical presence, and your image tells a charming story of connection. The diagonal composition is strong, and I love that you caught its head turned toward you. The technical issues others mentioned don't take away from the spirit you captured here. A lovely slice of nature-and timing-that many would've missed. Well done!
