Challenge: Color on Color II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Location: Melbourne Australia
Date: Feb 25, 2008
Aperture: F1.8
ISO: 400

The Image: Food makes a great model as it is willing, still and you can devour it when finished! Decided to go for food, which I love shooting, but I never seem to do well in the scores department. Window light...simple.

The Edit: Just basic stuff really.

Prediction: If I get 6.1, I won't be far off...hoping for 6.3

Post: a bit disappointed with the end result. My prediction was way off...think I will give food photography a miss for a while :)

This is the image that might have done a little better:

Way underrated, too bad dpc doesn't care for well executed food shots. Will add this to my favs just to prevent you from giving up food shots.

Bah - keep shooting food. You're good at it! I want to climb into the computer and eat your entry. :) You probably just got dinged for daring to have something other than red in the image.

The silverware in the background detracts from the image, in my opinion.

This picture is very well captured because of all the the textures, shadows and highlights. The tomatoes are not lost in the redness.

Nice photo - good lighting. The tomato branch, though, is too distracting much, and totally takes away from the rest of the photo.

with a stick in it. I assume to add interest and contrast.

Nice colors. the stems look a touch oversharpened

I really, really like this one, but I had to work out what was bothering me about it and I think it's that it looks very appetizing and yet the stem seems to be the focal point (not very appetizing). I still scored it high as I love the quality.

i like this picture, but it could be better. maybe focusing in on the whole thing could help, or a different angle.

Good picture but would of looked better if the background was in focus

this could be in a food mag.

The vine right in the center detracts. Perhaps it should be moved to one side or the other and have it "flirt" with center.

I like the lighting and the colors are vibrant and beautiful! I also like how you added contrast with the green leaves.

I can imagine this is Enzo's work. great food shot, looks fresh and tasty. good DOF, though I had preferred the focus a tad more in front. 1 or 2 complete basilico leaves would have been a nice touch
