Awesome comp and post-processing. I love seeing great NY photos b/c when you're familiar w/ a location, seeing how someone else shoots it provides a different and perhaps deeper experience of a photo than when you haven't witnessed the place with your own eyes.

Should have ribbon'd IMO (no offense to the deserving winners)

Great job.

Thanks to all for the comments:)

I must throw out this disclaimer: It looked a lot better before I shrunk it down to 640px. I submitted this image before i understood anything about workflow, and i unwittingly saved, saved, and resaved upon the same JPEG over and over w/ progressive dodge/burns, not knowing that it would KILL the quality, especially so when stepped down to a smaller scale.

I'm very impresed with the amount of character you were able to convey using such simple foods. The folds in the ham are particularly effective. Warranted an audible chuckle from me, 9
