this is a great photo and I am sure once all cooked would taste great. however raw meat never never appeals to me. The photo is nice, I like the shallow dof

Nice arrangement. The way you use shallow DOF to draw the eye to the sharp focused meat yet convey the idea that everything else is supplimental to it is a wonderfully accomplished even if that was not your intent. It is a subtle touch that makes this a good image. On my monitor, which is recently calibrated, makes the composition look a little too dark in some facing areas. A soft light from the front left side would make it look better.

Well done, love the sharp focus on the meat with the other ingredients being slightly out of focus. Nice colors and appetising arrangement, the slight flare on the scallions is just a very wee bit distracting, otherwise great pic

Nice picture, but more DOF would have helped

Very nicely done, though I think it's a tad underexposed.

Challenge
- Relevant to the Challenge? Yes.
- Is subject unique (vs. unoriginal or rehashed)? Yes

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Great compostition/arangement. Do me a favor? Pick that one seed out of the lemon. (I hope I'm not nit-picking...
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes, the background is nicely out-of-focus with the marbled ham looking marvelous.

Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes, however a touch of foreground lighting would take care of that dark bit of the sliced ham. Some of the shadows are blocked-up.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? It's been years since I've eaten pork, but this is a very appealing image.

Excellent photo. Needs slight brightness/contrast adjustment or slightly higher ambient lighting.
