"Must Be A Magical Cake..."

Everyone seems so amused by this cake. The Bride is filled with

delight, the Groom is simply amazed and the Flower Girl is consumed

with intrigue.

Please share your thoughts...

Hello Deb,

My sincere thoughts are that this is a delicious souvenir, with, above all, the priceless expression of the child.

Photographically spoken though, I'm less convinced. First of all, the flash caused dark, unaesthetic shadows behind the cake and the persons. It would have been better, I think, to adapt sensibility (high ISO), aperture (as large as possible) and shutter speed (as slow as possible) in order to avoid the use of the flash. Maybe you also would need a tripod then in order to avoid motion blur.

Secondly, I think it is a pitty that the hands of the parents are hidden by the cake. I would have tried a slightly different point of view in order to make them more visible. Thirdly, I think the point of view is quite "common". Was this the only possible angle you could take this photo from?

Of course, this only is my personal opinion. I hope you won't mind and, anyway: feel free to (dis)agree ;o)

Kind regards,

Erik
