great pattern in this shot, the car here and there adds a nice piece of candy for the eye, well seen.

Sarah, I really loved the composition and colors in this photo. Can't understand why it didn't score higher - certainly would have deserved it. Maybe if you had added a strawberry...

I didn't really understand the voting in this challenge but I did give this one a 7. I guess I liked your diagonal composition and the lighting was subtle and perfect. I like this better than your outtake.

There's a lot I like about the shot but I think the composition is a bit too rigid. It might be the lines in the tablecloth coming straight at me but it might be the arrangement overall. Shooting square plates is tricky and I've good and bad experiences doing it myself but this shot and one other in the Challenge made me look this guy up...

I think he's one of the best and it's cool how he handles the square plate/bowl here. Very relaxed, super shallow dof (the front and back of the food part are oof, lol) but you can fully sense what the dish is about.

eta:this ones even better...

Comment by rlewis:
somehow the placement of the containers doesn't make a dynamic image, it comes across as a little bland with all the white

Nice keeping focus on the subject dish, and the sides beeing slightly out but still recognizable. I like it, very profeassional.

I do like the conversion. There's a tendency to make every shot super-contrasty to meet DPC needs, but often shots like this will lose detail and feel if you do that. I think this one works nicely!

Hmmm... I looked at the B&W first, and like it. Then I looked at the color, and while it IS vivid, it somehow seems fitting for that scene. Unreal, but fitting!
