have three different shots i liked for this challenge, hope i picked the right one.

cut the bottom off a pair of addidas i've owned for many years. threw some peas in the microwave and sprayed some fake butter on the plate to give it a shiny yummy look.
shot raw: adjusted exposure/shadows/contrast then curves.

Technically, this shot is okay. The lighting is good; there are no blown out areas and there is still details in the darks. The focus is good in that the subject is still identifiable, and any areas not in focus don't detract. The colors are a bit too uniform for my taste. I think a different color of plate or peas with carrots would have added a dash of flavor to the shot (pun, though bad as it is, was intended).

Compositionally, the long narrow crop you have chosen makes this picture feel flat. It is cramped and tight, and while that in and of itself is not a bad thing, in this shot, it doesn't give the viewer a chance to fully "feel" the shot. The placement of the items in the picture place the focus (at least for me) on the knife and onion slice rather than the shoe.

It does meet the challenge and is a creative and imaginative take on it. I think a couple of things executed differently would have really made this shot stand out.

Best wishes in future challenges.

If it wasn't for the addidas logo, I would have a hard time seeing the connection with food. But it's aight! :D
Good luck ;-)

Really nice idea. Just needs more color saturation to me. Still..nice idea.

Comical. Good job for catching the logo on the shoe--it helps identify the interesting texture on the palette. ;)

Good idea but kind of gross. Haha. Anyways I like how the plate is green and the peas are green. You did a nice job! Good luck!

Clever idea. And the picture looks interesting, how there are 'soles' and other bits of food (with a knife and a fork) on a plate. The colors are nice, and the lighting is good.

tasteless

Interesting shot, I completely lost the point that this was on a plate and was served as a meal (I always slow). Maybe just too tightly cropped? - 7

Cute tittle but the food and the sole of the show really do not make the photo look to good!

Odd composition, it's cropped too tight, . The lighting could be softened to reduce the glare on the reflective surfaces.

Poor lighting on this one... Colours are too dull.
