I took this at the chocolate buffet on a cruise I was just on.

I like it, but I'm still new at this stuff. Feel free to give me tips and what not if you don't like it or think something could have been done better. The only post processing that has been done is cropping to remove something on the right hand side.

Okay, I'm going to be straight up. For you as a memory of a trip its spot on, but looking more professionally on it there are numerous things that is hard to overlook. The most important thing is the temperature of the picture, it's way to warm, the chocolate looks orange, and not brown as it should. The temp of the picture is very important, the food needs to look real and inviting.

Also the direct flash you used, is very rarely a good idea when photographing food. that again brings up the temp of the picture - the ambient lighting is one and the flash is another so they won't blend that well and can throw of your white balance.

The last think shows that its just a snap shot is the counter that covers the base.

Hope I wasn't to hard! For as a snapshot I like it, and I love big chocolate fountains like this - lucky guy!

No you weren't too hard at all. I don't ever plan on doing it professionally, but I want to get really good at it for my hobby. Thank you for the feedback.
