Interesting, I would like to see the pork chop more clearly and have a little more of the shot in focus.

this is a great set up, I would like to see a little broader DOF, but this is really nice work

I like that you caught the blue of the flame in the shot. The focus seems to be more on the onion than the pork chop that the title indicates the shot is about. Perhaps a slightly higher angle for the shot so that you could see more into the pan would have helped.

Comment by posthumous:
I apologize in advance for all the Americans telling you you're disqualified because you took this photo in May. Nice composition. Nothing seems to be in focus, but I don't think a photo needs to be in focus, nor does it need a single focal point.

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

Compostion
- Good or Bad? How can it be fixed? Rule of thirds. Bring the chop/skillet/flame down in the image. If you hade to compose/crop something out above that try a large piece of black spray painted cardboard well behind the skillet.
- Is there anything missing? Show me more of the knife. It seems lost.
- Good use of Depth of Field? Yes. Nice out-of-focus background including the pork chop in the skillet.

Lighting
- Good use of light? Yes.
- Good use of shadows? Yes
- Are there any overly dark shadows? I actually think it works for this photo. The skillet is dark, but you'd have lost the flames is you'd put more light there.

Aesthetics/Artistic Appeal:
- What is my reaction or feelings? LOSE THE DATE STAMP. You've probably gotten many comments on this already, but ultimately it's what destroys the quality of the image.

OK, never submit a photograph with a timestamp. Also, it seems like a pretty mundane shot to me, and the focus doesn't seem quite right. Nice try, but better luck next time.
