 Definitely surprised with this one. I didn't think it had any chance for the blue.

This was my back up shot since I wasn't really happy with my original idea. I took a whole bunch of shots of the first idea but ended up taking a few from this angle just in case.

This and the "Recipe" shot were taken on the same day and both in natural light. These dishes and a bottle of chardonnay made for a nice evening for a small group of us. :)

Thanks once again for the votes and comments everyone.

Winning two challenges in a row and both being food-challenges can only mean one thing:
Think it's time you invite us all over for a meal :)
