Mouth watering art. Absolutely everything but the board it's on can be
eaten!

That cake is amazing.
The photo, not so much.

And the word is "edible", not "eatable", at least in most English
speaking nations- and, you can look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls! *

mmm. My first thought was that the bottom one looks a bit like a
briefcase - it would go well with Doug's trademark filing cabinet
background shots..

Hints for professional wedding shooters:
1. The cake shot is one you have complete control over, so there are no
excuses!
2. Carefully arrange and completely include (or exclude!) items that
might be seen as related or decorative. Eg flowers (or scrolls in
bottles) should never be cut off.
3. Give your subject room - don't let edges of the cake or its base
touch or go too close to the edges.
4. Avoid odd bits of colour that might distract, eg little bits of
bright blue at top right..
5. Make sure the cake/base is either straight, or deliberately angled.
It's just like a horizon - if it is a little off, it just looks odd and
unprofessional.
6. Don't just shoot from wherever you happen to hold the camera - look
at the cake design - would it look better from a lower or higher angle
of view? In this case, I would have gone lower.

Take the doll mate. At least you have the comprehension to pick a real flaw.

Its obvious that your only response to people who pick out your flaws is to
call them an idiot, but then those are your true colours after all :-)

Not at all. If someone with half an interest in the photograph and not a
bash up on me, passed comments I felt were valid, I'd respond in kind.
Your problem is even worse than the idiot's. You don't have a clue in
the first place. Not that he does either but he tries... Poor bugger.

An I thought..
Been on the sauce tonight, Doug? Yerr thlurrrrin yerr wurdth, mate.

..you were just an idiot...
Now I'm convinced.
Nice to see you addressing the content of the email and avoiding
personal attacks, as usual. It is interesting that an idiot knows more
about wedding photography than you..

Are there any other wedding photog's here would like to comment on
Doug's picture, versus my comments?

Cheers, Doug.
