Very nice

[Brigitte]

Are you hungry ?

Hi Brigitte,

I appreciate this may have been a quick pic to show us your home baking, but could I suggest 3 things to improve it, as much for the benefit of others, as yourself.

...

I'll be very cheeky and take that silence as a yes

i) As it is lit from behind mainly, something white propped up just out of shot, camera right, in the foreground would have reflected a little more light onto this nearside of the cake

ii) Including the front edge of the plate would give a more complete picture

iii) Crop off the table edge and other minor distractions on left, top and right sides - or do that at shooting with framing for ii) above

I hope you don't mind me picking on your picture to make these examples.

I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks, whenever I have tried this (I have given up now), it always got stuck in the tin and had to be dug out with a knife, leaving gouge marks down the sides

Enjoy the cake,

[Colin Southern]

... and ... for a "final touch", consider cutting a couple of slices and laying them next to the cake on the plate (or I could eat them, which-ever helps)

Dear Colin and Dave!

Thanks very much for your suggestions, they are always welcome.
I will try some other shots with your consultation.
This one was only a snap-shot nothing special.
