A piece of cake ?

[jcharris]

I have been experimenting with a barbie cake my wife baked .
Was having a difficult time to get the light correct.Any comments would be appreciated .

Hmm, these are tough to do. The lighting looks very flat and somewhat dark. Try putting a reflector under her to lose the shadow dark area under her chin and neck area. Also I think a different pose would help as this one looks as if she is being held up at gunpoint.

Hi Gary
Thanks for mentioning the arms ! I did not even notice that ! Unfortunatly the cake isn't anymore ! But i do have something else that i will try moving a reflector around.
Thanks for your comments.
Wish more people will leave comments as well.

Thank you Penny for commenting on the picture .
With a bit of practise i think i will sort out the lightning problems .
The tilt of the picture is quite distracting . I will work on that as well .Like Gary also mentioned - the arms look like she is held at gunpoint
Thanks again !

Dear James:

A Barbie Cake -- how cute is that! Even though the lighting may not have been exactly right what I noticed the most was the tilt of the picture, that distracted me straight away. Your wife is very talented to make such a cute cake -- take some more pictures of her other creations!

Thanks for sharing this one.

Best to You,
Penny
