To all my TrekLens friends: This is my gift to all of you – my reward to you for the fruits of your labours :)

Thanks for all of the lovely virtual fruits. It’s a pity that folks in Canada do not share the delightful practice to which Helen referred when she set up this theme, for I would have loved to have a little fresh fruit this week.

Since I am still unable to go to the grocery store, I thought I’d offer you this little morsel instead -- a reward from a chocolate lover for all your efforts (^o^)

Tech: Taken in a coffee shop at the end of a long day of stumbling about with my cane in the beautiful town of York; captured in raw, basic adjustments made in raw, converted to jpg, straightened somewhat via perspective cropping; resized for TL; created exploded frame effect in layers, and signed

Thanks for looking and for all your kind wishes both on TL and off-list and have a safe and healthy weekend!
P.S. I am now able to spend more time at the computer again, so I hope to get some shots of the UK processed and ready for posting. so I can promise a little more active participation again shortly :)

Hi Silke,

TFS!

Hello Silke!
I hope you are OK!
Really beautiful your picture...and look very tasteful!
Lovely composition with perrfet clarity and lovely frame!
Best regards!
Lili

Hi Silke,

Glad you're on your way to a speedy recovery!!

This is a nice photo of your pie. It looks terrific on the chocolate decorated plate. It really has that 3-D look. Your frame technique is unusual too. I think that I would personally prefer a solid black background, but that's just my opinion. (Brown has never been one of my favorite colors...) Nonetheless, the frame is unique and interesting...

Thanks for sharing your pie! Looks delicious!

Hi Silke
Cheesecake, how appropriate giving us sweets from the sweet.
Very good capture especially with your cane, which becomes a nuisance when wanting to photograph, but we learn how to get around it.
Thank you for the gift and wish you a speedy recovery
Dot

Don't give Linda any. She's on a diet.
So I'll have her piece with mine :-).
Excellent capture.

Hi Silke,
My moth is watering, this looks good, a well presented shot of a well presented dessert.
Glad to hear your feeling better, take care.
Regards Andy

Hello My Friend,

How great to see you contributing again!
What a fabulous piece of cake!
It looks mouthwateringly yummy with the sharp details so evident.
My question is ... who is going to get to eat it or has it already reached its destination?
On reflection, I think you should have the honour as you need lots of tlc.

Looking forward to more of this!
Look after yourself,
Bev :-)

Okay, now I'm hungry again. ;)
Nice work, the lighting makes it particularly appetizing...tell me, did it taste as good as it looks? ;)
The OOB work on the frame makes the desert almost feel approachable and touchable. Good idea for this.
TFS,
Wilt

Okay great then Silke, I would not mind taking a bite - glad to see it's virtual, because I really should not ^-^.

Here a fruitbasket is the way to go when someone is ill or has to be hospitalised, in second place will come huge bouquets of flowers, then magazines and books and balloons with wishes on them.

TFS for sharing this yummy treat.

Excellent idea Silke .. for photo and good note!
More and more we see this sort of 'dressing' on plates in a after dinner icecream or cake
in the little 'better Restaurants.
I always get tempted , when finishing my icecream ,
to 'clean' the plate with my finger..lol
Fine compo .. and Get well, greetings from Holland
