First food shoot. Basic editing performed. Misted with water a fresh effect. Tried a little Neat Image, may have over done it. Played with levels, contrast, shadows, saturation, unsharp mask. I haven't done much with food and product shots so thought I'd give it a go. Critiques welcome!!

I like the lighting and the basket and the dark. Perhaps there is just a little too much contrast, and there could be more space above.

It would be perfect if it wasn't so dark

The food looks really nice but I don't care for the black stuff in the basket.

you did a good job of lighting this still life and get good color staruation. I just wish the right underside of the basket was not so dark. It appears to be floating on that side... but maybe it's just my monitor :S

When you say still life, one instantly thinks fruits and vegetables..

Would've like to have seen a little more creativity, good execution though.

Not voting just letting you know this is what I call a still life, good lighting hope it's doing well for you.
