Many thanks for choosing my photograph. I took this picture at the Royal Horticultural Gardens in Wisley, Surrey. Waiting in line in the cafe I saw a wonderful opportunity as the bright colours and wonderful light contrasted so well. I took this with my trusty Fuji X100S, which managed to get the exact focus I wanted in the few moments available. As it was relatively dark in the cafe, I had to use a wide aperture which gave the lovely focus on the cake in the foreground, without blurring the background too much. I used Lightroom to make minor adjustments, but otherwise I was happy with the initial image straight out of the camera.
