Critique Oatmeal Cups

[Mike Buckley]

The recipe is at https://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-tender-baked-oatmeal-cups-242475. This was the first time I made the cupcakes. The next time I make them, I'll double the cinnamon and add nutmeg to make them more flavorful.

Hi Mike. I like the detailed look of the FG cupcake and the DOF in the image. But I don't feel comfortable with the composition. I would crop the image from the top to eliminate the empty and distracting area (I don't know what it is, is it a table or window frame?) and I would remove the dark areas (vignettes?) on the bottom corners. Then the image might look better at least for me..

Thanks, Binnur! I've considered cropping to eliminate the top area that you mentioned. If I deal with the vignette at the bottom corners, I would lighten it but not eliminate it. That's because the light on the towel without those darkened areas is distractingly bright.
