I like this photo because it's not immediately apparent we are even looking at a cake. That's some smooth frosting. Great angle, nice capture of the flaming candle.

Of course, I always ask for a sheet cake since the whole "circle of life" thing is a little too suggestive for my comfort. ;-)

Very nice angle on this. I actually like the red tones it has. Normally I would say that it should be removed but it really adds to the colors of the cake and fire. Great job :)

Hmm... I guess this qualifies. LOL.
Couldn't figure out what the letter was until I read your artist notes.
Nicely done.

    What is age after all? Just a number! In this case just a letter! Thanks very much for the review

Did you take one without the candle/flash in the middle? Otherwise, nice composition, balance, expression, and story quality.

This is very eye catching because it is so unique. The color and contrast is nice. The detail is nice. The composition is very nice. I wish the table would extend all the way to the bottom of the photo, but not much you can do about that unless you photoshop it. Overall, nice job.
