I agree with stu, you need more DOF- I don't know what the industry standard might be, but I would want at least 80-90% of the cake in focus. I'm not sure about the angle of the cake either- there are a lot of lines but none are horizontal or vertical and it's making me dizzy. Play with this some more... Alan
