The joy of having this apple pie on the table is almost the same as having some sunshine around us Smile I took this photo in the kitchen table directing my camera through the kitchen window. The blur at the backdrop that's the view in my backyard garden, some houses and the window panes. I laid some orange design table napkin on the table for some sunny colors..Now, what I need is some cappuccino, speaking of which gotta go downstairs now to have some.

This is making me hungry. Smile Very nicely laid out and composed, the edges of the cake jump out of the photo, especially the larger version, against the soft background.
I think the depth is good but, for me, maybe a bit too tight. I'm thinking it might be an even better shot if the leading edge of the plate was also in focus, or at least not out as much.
Thanks, a nice shot though anyway.

Een letterlijk heerlijke foto and indeed that orange napkin underneath the pie makes it all sunny.
Good choise to use A priority but very difficult to get it right because here you want to have the front part of the plate and the whole of the applepie sharp and focussed. Now you can also fake the blurred BG by using a gaussian blur on a copy of the picture and then with the clonestamp "paint" back the sharp and detailed plate and pie. To achieve that detailed picture you have to use a higher F number like F18 - that will make your camera use a much longer shuttertime depending on the light, so you have to place the camera on the table or on a tripod. Or maybe you have to use the light coming in from the kitchen window....
