The lighting here is not very flattering. Must be an on cam flash.. the shadows are not very visible but they are harsh.

Yum. I love Tex Mex! Lighting and Focus are good, but the image as a whole is a bit "busy" with too many items. The flowers top center and the condiment tray are somewhat distracting. Meets the challenge well. 6

This will be one I come back to find out the recipe, I love this stuff! :) As for the shot, too many things going on at once and it pulls away from the main object, the food. I think the formal setting for the Tex=Mex is a bit much, something much more casual would have really worked with this shot and a bottle of tequila! ;) The lighting is also a bit off, too bright in the center and to dark on the upper corners. An 8 overall from me.

Your place settings are gorgeous. The picture brings them - and the dip - out nicely. I hope I get to see the recipe when the results are posted.

Too staged. Too typical.

Great set up, I like how it gets all aspects in the photo without it feeling busy or crammed. Nice space. I do wish though the food had more presence than it does, I think it was lost due to the perspective the photo was taken from. I would've also liked the whole presentation to be brighter - with the nice feeling of space, comes a need imo for greater light depth. Other than those points I think its a very good photo. 7
