Very nicely done. This shot reminds me of one that would be found in a cooking magazine.
Compositionally, the main dish is centered, but because of the salad in the background, it doesn't feel as static as it would if it were "alone.' The background elements help to balance the composition. The crop you have used also works well. I tried to imagine it with more of the plate, but that would make the food smaller in the frame, and I think it would have less of an impact. If you tried to crop it more, it would start to feel a bit tight. You could use a round plate, but then I think you would lose that nice combination of tradition (the food) and the modern (chic plates). All that to say that I think it all works well. The only thing you may have been able to do, was photograph it more from an angle setting the composition on more of a diagonal between the corners of the plate and the salad in the background.
Technically, this is spot on, I think. The lighting is great. It gives the natural appearance of a plate on the table with light spilling in from the side. It has enough shadows to really show the textures and depth, but it is not so harsh to make it unappealing. The carrots and other greenery help to add some color contrast to a shot that would otherwise be kinda flat. Focus is good and the dof that is exhibited gives a good sense of depth to the shot.
Overall, very well done. I think I shall go fix me something to eat now. :)

| This is a beautiful shot. I love the light breaking through the mashies which is the best lit part of the dish. The bird...the star of the show deserves more light. Square plates are hard to photograph but a slight tilt of the camera can add some movement or a little extra dynamic to the food. Cheers! Great work. |

| I think if you had has the plate in the foreground triangled and the plate in the back squared this would have really popped. I do like the softness of the mashed tatters against the hard lines of the carrots. Nicely shot though |

| Composition seems a little too dead-on even for me. The plate is just too even with the edge of the image. Maybe a view from an angle would have worked better for me. |
