 Some oil, less vinegar, pinch of salt, minced scallions (and grated garlic and blue cheese if desired), chopped lemon thyme and Greek oregano; mix in salad bowl and add chopped tomato and fresh shelled peas and let sit while you go into the garden and collect fresh red oakleaf lettuce and bring it in to wash and dry and tear into bits and throw on top of dressing and other ingredients. Toss just before serving.

Apologeum: the blue cheese doesn't really go with the peas, and certainly doesn't need salt; and the wedge in the picture is really too soft for grating; also if I have onion in the salad I usually don't have garlic, and if I do have garlic I prefer lemon juice to vinegar. These items were added enthusiastically if slightly insincerely for visual interest.

Very nice score! I loved how you had laid out all the ingredients and the tools to finish the salad. Everything looks so fresh! I love the backlight as well.

Nice image, but I gave it a moderate score simply because the image doesn't engage me. Perhaps a little different angle, a different tablecloth, or even a simpler arrangement.

A lot of elements in this shot. A lower angle and tighter crop might make for a more interesting shot. Good lighting though.
