THis was great! A nice image for Team Greece!
I wonder if you pronounce this item like " Broo-sketta" - my Italian friend says that's the Italian "correct" way to say it.
This is too sharp (bet you thought you'd never hear that one...huh?).
The current style of food photography rarely if ever has everything in focus. If the food image is being used to idendentify specific product such as, a spice, an herb, a fish or utensil, etc. only then is sharp focus necessary. Otherwise full dof food images went out with Betty Crocker Cookbooks in the 1970/s/80's. Cheers!
Having said that, this will probably place better than my shot.
Lighting on the main subject is wonderful. Composition of elements is very appealing to the eye. And the food - well it looks REALLY good to eat. Again you did an excellent job of lighting your subject as that I have recently learned that food photography calls for really good lighting and composition to make the food look mouthwatering. Great job 9.Nope bumping to 10. Coming back to this - this looks like it is straight out of a magazine or cookbook. Stellar job.
