My play on restaurants giving out meals that are too small. It was harder than it looks. I spent quite a bit of time to get the lighting and angle right. There are some things I would change, but for now.. I'll stop tinkering. I like it, I hope it appeals to others!

I laughed when I saw this, it is so right on. You did an amazing job on the clarity, sharpness and lighting.

this is funny and true at the same time, well done, only thing is you might have tried to find a little more "expensive looking" silverware, love the plate though

slight overexposure in the plate which probably couldnt be helped, nonetheless deservedly a 10. excellent choice of colour.

Great shot, and a great title too!

That must have been an expensive restaurant ;-) Maybe a shot from straight above would have been better?

I really like this one - it really stands out. If I were a photo editor, I may ask you to reshoot with a fancier looking fork and knife. But, I'm giving it a 10.

Heaven protect us from nouveau cuisine. It looks very nourishing - for a sparrow. Quite out of proportion to ones appetite

Very Clever. Nicely Done!

Great idea, some better silerware would have improved this shot, as well as colored table cloth. Fits the challenge well.

Wonderful idea. Title is perfect. Minor suggestions: I'd like to see the silverware better aligned and with more "shininess" showing. The yellow pattern on the knife is a bit distracting. I knoe that's nitpicky but when you are so close to perfection... everything additional helps. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Title should have included the price, say 135 Euros? The composition is strong, as is the color choices. A few details would have really driven this home for me: polish up the flatware, and add a napkin and wine glass.

Good idea, good composition, good choice of colors. But I would have chosen a clean fork and knife for this picture. (6)
