| Arrangement is fine. Lighting seems slightly bright and overexposed but not badly so. Focus looks soft. You might consider getting much closer to the food itself to the point of cutting off the edges of the containers. That is common photographic practice to do things like that and the food would be larger in the frame and the viewer could better see just how delicious it is. You could cut out the lavender background all together and it would be OK. |

| Looks delicious. I have a feeling I am going to be very tired of food on plates by the end of voting, but since yours is the first picture I'm judging, you will receive a reasonably good score. |

| Very nice, my only concern is that the focus does not seem as sharp as it could be. The colors and arrangement are very nice. |

| Love the arrangement, the black containers really show off well against the white platter, nice background, only thing I think that could have been a bit better is the lighting, it seems a little overpowering. Otherwise well done |

| Nice shot, nice colours, and a great perspective. But the light is a bit too strong. Looks as though the light is situated nearly directly above the food. The use of a softer light, or moving the light to a better position would of improved my vote for this piece. |

| The arrangement of the dishes provides good visual interest. The background colour does not appeal to me. |

Great presentation, love the black/white dishes, the circle within the square
arrangement. The color on some of the items does seem a little weak, ie the carrots, but that may be varietal. Also I think your choice of borden here may not have been the best, to me its distracting especially across the bottom. |

| Food looks interesting, but seemed to photograph flat, especially compared to the sheen on the plates. It's like the plates are being emphasized at the expense of the food. |

| Beautifully arranged food - the photo itself is laking in detail and punch. Taking the photo from above the center might have helped the composition-fully symetrical. The on camera flash is very harsh leaving the food flat and dark shadows at each plate. Light it with several lights around the food and off the camera. |
