Compare and Contrast "The Creemee"

My two favorites from this week were the 4th and 6th images.

The 4th:


The 6th:

Of these two I like the second one the best, the image of the curl.  The curl of a creemee is, by far, the best part; it has the best flavor because I eat it first, before my mouth begins to go numb from the cold.  It is also, in my opinion, the prettiest part of the creemee, and also the most satisfying to make because it takes true technique.  I like how the focus of the image is completely on the curl, and as your eyes move back through the image it begins to get fuzzy.  I also like how the sunlight coming through the window glistens off of the creemee and you can also see it slightly in the background shining on the counter.  In the first image, the side profile of the cone, there is similar glistening and depth; but, the transition from the foreground to the background is a bit more crisp, there is a more defined edge to the cone, and you can see further beyond the cone.  The two images are completely different parts of the same object, the first is a side profile which shows more of the whats going on beyond the creemee, while the second focuses entirely on the creemee itself.

  1. I too like the second picture in your comparison. The clarity of the curl compared to the rest of the pictures makes it interesting as well being able to see the texture detail of the ice cream before it fades to blurriness. Neat subject to photo graph!
