I'm enjoying this as a stage piece - on a plate no less. Pun notwithstanding, there is a somber side of the fallen manderin and conspiratorial group. Compositional instability adds some tension.

I wanted to say "good catch" but it's already been done. It all looks so appetizing - and familiar.

Dang, that look good. I love lamb and thus the thought of it as inspired by this shot makes my mouth water!

Love how the blur is flying between two static objects. The eye really makes it fascinating.

Like others have commented, the cutting board is one of the most interesting items in this shot ..the fresh ribs placed on top of such a well used board give us, the viewers, a sense of what is to come. I like the whimsical little red pepper in the top leftish corner - part of a rub? Is it hot or sweet - will you roast it? I also like the angles in this shot - nothing is perfectly straight which is as it should be (unless you have a bad case of OCD) it looks less set up and more just a quick glimpse into the making of a grand feast. Totally enjoyed visiting your meal.

Lovely presentation and lighting of the food (reminds me: having spare ribs myself tonight ;-) The texture of the cutting board is great as well. I think you should get rid of all the other objects and backgrounds surrounding the board.
