Very interesting, curious about the cuisine that includes this dish. I think the composition could have been improved by viewing this setting from an angle, leaving a bit more space around the edge of the plate, and by keeping all of the wine glass in the frame.

wish all of the glass were in the frame - I've never had this - looks good :)

Composition is fine and general image quality is OK. There is a small distraction in that the plate is not centered. Some voters will probably feel that tomato sauce and avocado with wine is not much of a recipe.

It's another isolated plate shot, but at least yours is on a table and not floating in infinite blackness like some others I have seen.

the dish is placed too below and the shot could be more light

nice composition and good use of light. only a very few competitors seem to know how to light food so that it looks tasty.

Nice set up but bad lighting.

More light, please. Please say this isn't just ketchup.

Not fond of the straight down angle you took it from. Bowl of food looks out of focus compared to other elements in the photo.

Plate right on the bottom of the shot distracts me

Nice arrangement, fanned-out cut, and color contrast. More recipe and whiter levels would help.

I'm sorry. This just looks unappetizing. It looks as if the avocado is lying in a plate of catsup, and the avocado has a lot of blemishes. You obviously put a lot of thought into the composition. Keep on shooting.

A dish that's new to me. I like the unusual, somber setting and lighting as opposed to the common light and bright.

Nice set-up and presentation. WB seems a little off. Would like to see more vivid colors.
