That would be a foam on the pork chops. Glad to hear you got to eat your props!

When shooting food, all of the dish should be in focus.

Comment by Jedusi:
You clearly knew what you wanted to capture here, but have been let down by the technicals. The light temperature is too warm (giving an orange colour)- this means the plate isn't white enough and the food colours don't have enough 'zing' in them. Also the focus is not crisp enough.

that said , at least you get to eat your props afterwards :- )

Color seems off, looks underexposed. To truly get the effect of advertising on food, use hairspray to give it "shine".

I like the color variations but this picture is lacking advertisement for a real subject.

Food shots are hard. The DOF has to right on or it doesn't seem appitizing. I should be able to recognize what it is that being sold and I can't here. sorry.
