This composition doesn't really appeal to me, personally. The plate doesn't compliment the subject, IMO. the background shadow and that wet spot should have been cleaned up. I could do without the spoon.

I do like the exposure and the lighting.

nice composition, great choice of plate to offset the food. Like the lettuce leaf, helps pull it together. 7

looks delicious. The lighting is kind of boring

Lighting isn't giving off any shadows or contrast therefore making this image look flat.

That tofu looks great but... I'm afraid that plate really, really detracts from it. I'd say presenting the beautiful bright tofu (and it's bed of bright green lettuce) on a plain white plate with perhaps a pair of plain black chopsticks or a very plainly designed spoon would work better than the plate and spoon used here.
