Nice looking dish... very flattering arrangement. Most chef's would be proud! The presentation of this image is great. The shallow DOF perfect.

Dim Sums ... "potstickers"

Well thought out composition and exceptional technical quality. Lighting is good. The large soft focused foreground works well in this image to highlight the food. Soft focused foregrounds normally do not work well. Kudos to you.

Well done composition with top notch focus. Overall, a very good image. There appears to be a slight brownish hue to the center of the "white" background and a greenish tinge to the burger and fries. White balance, maybe?

Nice color tones, especially the browns. Excellent technical quality and fine macro. Rates high on the appealing looking foods scale. There is some slight haloing on the top of the sandwich but hardly noticeable. If anything, the only thing that might improve it is to set a blackpoint or blacken the blacks slightly. Great job.

Good idea and well set up. Black background works. The soft focus and small size will turn off a lot of voters.

Often a soft focused foreground does not work very well but it does in this image. Noise reduced perfectly without the "smoothies" and the technical quality of this image is superb. Yellow seems a little overdone to me but unsure that it is not absolutely right for this composition.

This could be right out of the Denny's Restaurant menu. Excellent image, great composition, decent lighting, good combination of colors and a fine well thought out arrangement. One of the best of the challenge.

It is interesting what you tried to do with the color. Unfortunately, the reflections are more distracting than supportive of the image, especially the red speck on the far left and the blueish reflection on the far right. You might consider cropping the later two things out of the composition.
