 Don't celebrate thanksgiving as we are in Australia, but here's a simple weekly dish I might commonly cook up for the family!
Roast rolled pork with apricot and hazelnut stuffing, roast potatoes, pumpkin, carrots and aspargus and cherries for that festive look. The background was my Christmas tree.
Cropped, resized, gaussian blur, lighting/exposure, hue, colour.

Stuffed pork and roast tatters, I knew I shouldn't have looked at this shot. Now my kids are asking who you are and when are we going to your house for dinner. Is that a glazed carrot over there? Oh and the photo, pretty darn good, nice crisp and looks appetizing. Which is hard to do unless you carbon monoxide it. Nice tones, cheerful dish. well done 9

Almost looks like a cookbook image, but seems a bit grainy. Perhaps oversharpened? Some detail on the meat in the center is lost to blown highlights.

Wonderful composition. Too much flash in fruits & veggies yet it makes me HUNGRY.

Wow that's a heck of a nice plate of food! Compliments to the chef.

It's very noisy though, and the turkey looks washed out. Too much flash?

Nice shot but slightly too saturated for my tastes

The separation of the food on the plate and the background is a little harsh.

Now that's a feast. Looks good. Picture wise, a few hot spots, but I like the colors and layout.

Crop slightly tight on the side and a bit bright in the center of the plate. However DOF is good.

This looks delicious! The composition is really busy though, I would have preferred a simpler background.

I really like this shot. I love the background. I wish the lighting on the cherries wasn't so harsh. There is a little bit of noise, but I really don't think it takes away from the picture.

This is a well dressed plate. Nicely thought out although the multi-colored background is a little distracting. A more neutral background would bring more focus to the food.
