I just know this is going to spark everyone's favorite debate! :ivar

But regardless of how anyone feels about this, I had fun making it.

    Well, I picked breakfast foods with all sorts of textures so texture was my inspiration...and hunger. :D

    I hope I were to float up on the shore of the rice crispy treats (and hopefully they weren't only puffed rice)!

    OMG!!! I love it. Is that a 10:4 pano I see? mwink.gif

    That bacon bridge puts it over the top for me. :lol4

    I definitely see some "craggy" things in there. thumb.gif

    Thanks everyone. I took Shay's thread on engaging the audience to heart. People love food and I tried to have fun with it...plus I know the 10:4 pano is a big favorite.

    I like it.

    Did you use the sunnyside up 16 rule for the correct exposure? :D

    If I may critique it a tad... I would love to see some reflections of the bridge and english muffins in the milk.

    They leave via the backstage door right after the morning coffee.

    I love this photo...just a couple of questions though...

    DID you actually take photos of all that food,

    Then put them together in composite work??

    How many layers did you actually end up with??

    How big was your exif file when you finished?


    I remember Hoofclif did a photo and he had 16 layers and his photo was HUGE!!

    Apologies for being so inquisitive, but enquiry minds wanna know...:D

    DID you actually take photos of all that food,
    Yes! Believe it or not, I probably spent as much time shooting the food as I did in PS. There were several items I shot that I ended up not using (avocado, whipped cream for clouds, cantaloup, bananas).

    Then put them together in composite work??
    The strawberries I lined up, dropped powdered sugar on them and shot as one mountain chain. Just about everything else was shot individually. I did try shooting the strawberries with the English muffins laid out in front but it didn't look so good.

    How many layers did you actually end up with??
    I probably had about 30 layers at one point before I started merging them down.

    How big was your exif file when you finished?
    headscratch.gif Umm, I've never looked. I'll have to checkit when I go home.

    My original PS file is around 123 MB and I recounted...I probably had over 50 layers. Here's my concept doodle:
