I realize that there are already a few "splash" photos, but then again the theme is milk, that's to be expected ;)

I also caught a bunch of cool looking crowns w/out the strawberry visible, but I think the strawberry adds some pizzaz =c)

    I'd like 1 and 2 better if the berry was in focus.
    #3 is my favorite.
    #4 is awesome and would be my choice, except that the way the berry wedge appears, it looks like it's launching our of the milk instead of dropping into it. The splash and exposure on this one are great.

    4 & 5 don't ring my chimes.

    If you are shooting again, try a whole straberry. I think it might look better.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    I really like 3 and 5. I know how hard these but I'll make a suggestion anyway...can you soft that shadow?
    I like the first two but like Chris said the strawberry isn't in focus.
    I really love the big splashes because they are different.

    peace, gail

    I like the idea of 3,4,5 - I like to see the strawberry "skin" as it is more of a contrast with the milk and maybe the milk brighter like 1 & 2
    Great idea for a different splash!

    I like the splash in #4, but in all of them the light seems pretty harsh. There's what looks like blown out sections in the front of the splash, and it fades to shadow really fast. I'd try a diffuser on the foreground flash and try different bg lighting.

    Fun! For mine I shot off camera flash ETTL w/ shoot thru umbrella...I think that would help you with the harsh flash shadows :)

    Not to sound harsh as I try to be honest in any C/C... I think the idea is fine..As for the images themselves.. I think the lighting, croping and overall execution is lacking.. The 1st 2 images are the best of the bunch but still, IMHO not very pleasing to the eye. The rest of the images are lacking proper color and contain harsh shadows and hot highlights.. I would totally re-shoot it like I said its a good idea..

    Hey, you! Long time....

    Strawberries and cream makes me think of light, fun, yummy and soft. These pictures don't speak to me that way. The crop, composition and overall je nais se quoi don't jive.

    Strawberries + cream = yes

    These shots don't quite capture it. Keep shootin!
