Closer Than Before

This is my second attempt at the get pushed challenge issued to me by Mary @mcsiegle where I am to have something different in all four corners of the photo.
This would have worked if the plate of cookies were backed into the corner more ...
Yes - I did try to crop the plate into the corner but I did not like the composition as much.
It's a fun challenge since I am working with a subject I get to eat when I am done!
Here's an attempt that I will count Mary @mcsiegle.
Thank you for the challenge - it is giving me a chance to practice food photography at the same time.
Food photography is not one of my strengths, that is for sure!

this may not be what you wanted, but wow! love the cascading strawberries.

It certainly looks appetizing!

trying very hard to tell myself those are not good for me. 😜

Yum yum!

Beautifully photographed!

I imagine it's difficult getting the balance right. What delicious looking treats.

Yes - I can see how 4 would be difficult. This is interesting with the three.

Scrumptious looking food!
Interesting challenge.

The plate is not technically right in the corner but I counted it, and the negative space in the top right is different than the rest so I counted that as well.
I may try this again ...

You are making me hungry!!

Great execution, not an easy challenge

Ohhh we just had dinner and now I want dessert! It looks scrumptious! And has indeed something different in the 4 corners.

Getting peckish;)

Oh - that's so interesting - I really like the idea of the empty space counting as a corner! Thanks for the info. Cheers Rob

Aha! I see your strategy. First tacos...hmmm...you're not quite satisfied with that shot for the challenge. But someone has to eat the nachos and tacos...Fast forward a day. I love this composition! And, as you say, you get to eat it when you're done. I say mission accomplished. Please don't feel obliged to keep eating until you have the farthest bit of the corners covered differently. Ha ha

@farmreporter Hi Wendy, I found your challenge….. I hope you can be inspired by Dutch photographer Annemarie Spilker, I loved her portraits under the title ‘Searching to fill the emptiness’ ( http://www.annemariespilker.nl/html/portfolio-8.html ) could you do something with that frase? So no selfie is required…..
