Bird shots seem to be doing it for me this challenge. This one brings a smile to my face.

I am very much enjoying this image. Great gathering of goldfinches (I am assuming that is what they are). And the feeder is way cool. From DPC standards not the best technicals - but for me it is just lovely.

Caprese salad with strawberry balsamic reduction

OK - this is my take on the presentation of your plate. I would eat it ina second but your layout coudl be better. You have a cool square plate which could have been accented better had you curved the tomato and mozz. It comes up too far onto the edge and the straight line of the tom/mozz doesnt contrast with all of the other straight lines in the image. A curve would have been lovely. The balsamic reduction - had it been reduced down a bit more - could have been thicker which would allow for a cleaner plate design. The splatter just makes it look messy to me. And for a clean photo I would skip the black pepper. I know it tastes awesome but it just adds to the messiness. Something fresh and bright green would have been nice. A pair of chive sticks, a little chiffonade of basil. I am looking at this with eyes of a chef and a photographer. You have excellent components that could have been laid out a bit more pleasing,

Cool shot. Does it fit the challenge? Quite a stretch IMHO.

I dont know if it my monitor or just the editing, but your colors seem a bit flat. My personal desire with food (especially with a summer theme) is for vibrancy in color and light. I gave this a 7 - but with a tweak in color and light to make it pop more it would have scored higher.

Simple and clean. Way too many onions and not nearly enough mustard. ;)

Great looking meal. Photograph wise not overly exciting, but your food choices and what looks like an awesome execution of your ribs helps it out immensely.

This throws me right back to our vacation camping just a month ago. Great idea for the challenge and well done photographically (is that a word?) My choice for yellow.

Summer Salad With Roast Beef, Figs, Tomatoes and Arugula

This looks like a combination of a hotpasta type meal and a hotpasta type photograph. My top choice for the challenge. Great looking plate of food (man I do love fresh figs) and a pleasing arrangement.
