Wow, how pretty! You almost don't want to eat it and ruin the composition of the food! ;) This looks lovely, the food looks like it ready to jump out at you but the background is a bit distracting. Possibly if you had gone with a black or even brown one to match the table cover. An 8 from me.

LOL! This is hilarious! At least you didn't take a road kill one and put him on there! Even though I think I'll pass on the recipe for this one, I love this shot. The colors. the cropping, the light. Pushing the envelope on meeting the challenge so I'm giving you an 8

Caribbean Rice & Spicy Pork

This looks like a delicious dish and I'm sure my husband will be happy for a new idea for the pork. As for the shot, the light is coming off a bit yellowish on my screen. I like the composition of the shot, though all the green all over the meat is a bit distracting. The cropping is good, cutting off the plate actually works in this shot but the plate pattern around the edges clashes a bit with the food. An 8 from me. :)

LOL! Classic! Very classis and I'm thinking you are using a brown egg in this shot so you would get the slightly different hues in the black and whit. The light coming ind from the right is a bit bright overall but the shot is cropped perfectly. An 8 from me ;)

Blueberry and Apple Muffins

These lookd delicious! I can't wait to see the recipe! I like the background, the tablecloth is a nice contrast to the plate and ties into the blue in the muffins. The presentation is very nice and the cropping is also well done. It looks like the light is coming from behind the shot and I'm thinking it might be a bit better coming from above , bringing the colors of the muffing out more. A 9 :)

So when is dessert being served? These look so yummy! The cropping is well done as is the lighting but the white to black background is a bit distracting, one color or the other would have gotten you a 9 or 10 from me, as is, an 8 :)

Macaroni & Cheese

One of my favs and this one isn't from a box is it? the DOF on this shot is just a bit off with the front so fuzzy and just a bit more red than I would have liked. I'm giving you an 8, tighter cropping would have earned at least a 9 :)

Beef Stir Fry

Yum, but where is the beef? I see one tiny little piece under that broccoli. The lighting seems a tad dark but overall a wonderful shot. I give you an 8 ;)

This looks delicious and very appetizing. The colors are wonderful, the light background works very well and the cropping is almost perfect, i would have liked to see the noodles complete. I give this one a 9

Cheese Fondue

I scored this an 8 and will be leaving it there for now and I'll tell you why. This is a perfect shot with two little details that made me say,"Where's the cheese?" If I look super close I an just see the bubble of the warmed cheese right over the bottom edge of the fondue pot, a different angle would have helped with this. Also, the the piece on the fork had cheese on it, sitting on a small plate would have gotten you a 10 on this.
