    I love the way the cream looks like it is actually swirling! Great!

    Thank you, Madison! I debated removing some of the swirl effect, but to paint a smooth white surface would not be an accurate depiction of the cream. In reality those very subtle highlights, reflections and shadows exist since the subject is backlit from the right. The cream is very thick and gathers in the impressions around each seed, as well. Thank you for your comments! Jeanne
