Very nice I like the way this was done. The soft pastels in the spoon add color and balance. By leaving the fruit out of focus and the pastel colors from the spoon it has kept the photo moving. It's almost as if it's distracting but I like the way it guides the eye around the table. Very well done congradulations. The focus is nice and crisp. It holds your subject up front very well. The lighting is great I would love to know what you shot it under. Did you use available light or did you create this? Excellent work.

Awesome food shot. This is definately magazine worthy. I would like to see more than just the pear on the main plate. (ie: some decoration such as parsley)

Very pleasing food shot. I find the title a bit overdone though! ;)

yummy, that looks delicious!
good work on the lighting and colors.
i think the spoons on the left part are quite destracting, and so is the brownish reflection or whatever it is in the upper left corner.
