This looks like it would be good for you AND taste good - which somehow seems next to impossible. Except I've been to your house, so I do know that it's possible! Lovely salad, lovely shot of said salad. But I have to ask, do you discard just the crushed garlic, or the red wine vinegar and 30 minutes as well? (Ducking and running...)

I don't photograph people so feel free to disregard this as I probably don't know what I'm talking about :) but ... I like the head tilt and the sharpness and brightness of her eyes are great and really draws me into the photo ... I think the fence is a little distracting for me, the colour is a little to similar(ish) to her hair and face, maybe the green background all over would work better. Also on the right there seems to be some hair from somewhere else (another person?) which catches my eye and drags it out of the photo
