This is one good looking salad. I love the mix of colorful foods and composition. Nice clean white plate as well. Looks just great.

Yummy looking shot. Great job with the focus. The headline seems a bit weak though.

A little out of focus or fuzzy, but good composition for the Food section!

I don't usual find photos of 'food' appealing. This is one of the best I've seen a some time. You did well on your lighting and colors. Congrats and keep up the good work.

Love the colours! Good job. Focus is off a bit.
I gotta go eat.

very nice photo. makes me hungry! looks like it would go in the fine dining section of the news. only critique I would dare add to this is a little saturation to boost all the colours of the different foods. 7

hmmm hungry....

Good shot, worthy of being in the Wine and Dining section of the paper. Maybe just a bit warmer lighting would calm down those hot spots on a few of the pieces of lettuce that seem to be over powered a lose detail. DOF could have been a tiny bit deeper as we are starting to lose detail of the salad items near the back edge of the plate. It's a very nice shot, I like the composition.

White plate blown out,towel is distracting ,food portion is well done 6.

Good effort. I wish the image was just a bit sharper. The depth of field is really, really good and looks like the work of a professional. Lighting for this kind of shot is so difficult, but you've pulled it off wonderfully. 7, only because of the lack of detail (would be a 9 from me otherwise).

Nice but the glare on the table is a bit distracting.
06/23/2004 10:41:00 AM
good food + great shot = yummy
06/23/2004 09:23:19 AM
I think you may have been better off trying to come up with a "headline" for the "Food" section that dealt with the recipe for this salad or something along those lines. Perhaps "[Food Section] Salads Perfect For Summer". Nice DOF, but the napkin seems haphazard and out of place. I'd also try cropping the extra plate off the top.

Decent photo, Headline lacks the second half of the sentace. What about the World Wide Food Competition? Good attempt.
06/23/2004 05:39:15 AM
i like the colors
