THE SHOT: I love doing food shots. Had to have a go at this challenge. Basically cooked it all up and positioned it. Light from a window. Used the ever sharp and contrasty Nikon 50mm 1.8 handheld. Named the shot after our friend's new baby Toby. Congratulations Ben and Jo!
THE EDIT: Basically levels, USM, some dodge and burn and sharpen and blur. Nothing else really.
PREDICTION: Hope it makes mouths water! 6.7?
POST: Well I bombed in a challenge I wanted to do really well in. After entering this, I looked over my outtakes and think I had better images than this one...Oh well...next time

Oh, but for the grease on the paper in the foreground! Very unappealing, which is a shame. This is colorful, interesting, nicely framed & lit. I'm also thinking the knife wants to be handle first...
I could have lived without the black frame. But I really like the heavily saturated colors, and it actually looks quite yummy in a fast-food kind of way. Good arrangement.
Man I wish they served stuff like this in the fast food joints in my town. Great layout, great colors, nice dof. Order me up 2 please. This has the distinct feel and style of a certain pastor way down under. ;)
Did you get hungry doing this one? Nice mix of clearly shot items.
My eyes are immediately drawn to the lemon and lime drink (was that your point of focus?) I like the back of this shot more then the front. I think if there was a little more contrast on the burger (more like the contrast levels at the back)the whole thing would hang together a little better.
Good shot tho - 8
Aside from the lighting being a bit too harsh, I really like your composition. One of the few entries that for me, meets the challenge. Well done and good luck.
