A very attractive serving, and the green sets it off nicely.

Presentable. A good choice of foods and they look yummy. Hope you don't mind if I say some things about the picture. The two light sources are competing. You have created two sets of shadows. Maybe if one of them had been diffused you wouldn't have that problem. While the arrangement of the food on the plate is attractive, the picture itself lacks interest, I know because I have been told this lots of times. The green touch is nice but doesn't add enough pizzaz. Don't be afraid to get up close and let some of the image get oof. Food is one of the hardest things to photograph and this is a good attempt.

I love paella. Never had it with black rice though. Is that real or was it colored for this shot? Nice composition with good contrast (green).

I'm a stickler for absolute perfect symmetry in pictures like this, and the plate seems a bit tilted to the right to me. :) I would have also lined the plate up with the pattern on the tablecloth, but I'm compulsive!

doesn't meet challenge
nice composition and lighting
focus could be a bit better....looks like the unsharp mask is a bit much on the center area

No offense, but I may pass up an invitation to dinner at your place :) Nice photo, though!

Nice, but the green leafy garnish becomes the real subject, since it is the only spot of color.
