 Not happy with this somehow. One of these days I'll shoot a food shot before 8pm so I don't have to use flash and I can avoid having horrible shadows. And I've buggered up the pp again. Looks far too saturated.

Would like to beat my healthy food score of 5.22ish but don't hold out a great deal of hope.

This idea didn't come to me till Friday lunch time and I was kicking myself I didn't think of it sooner. It seems so simple, so obvious. Perhaps I'll wake up tomorrow morning to find 20 plates of ratatouille awaiting my votes ;-) ETA - I'm now writing this the next morning and because of rollover failure the only plate I'm looking at is my own.

There is a a chicken leg on the right hand side of the plate, cropped out. Wish diets worked like that ;-)

Not really big on food shots, but a great use of DOF.

Great idea. Placemat is a little distracting as is it's rounded like edge.
