Hi Rapture,
Thanks for the commentary on "Yum". I appreciate it very much. You are
right
about the DOF, could have been greater. The white at the top are white
chocolates
that kind of got blown out. The pink stuff is just the trim on other
chocolates. I was
just about at close focus for the lens when I took it, so it would be fairly
sharp since
I was tripodless. I had two different angles, but this one was better of
them. It was
taken behind glass or plexiglass.
You`re not being harsh at all, and I appreciate the comments.
Thanks so much,
Steve Larson
