| I like this kind of photo, how the setup just comes right to you. Your items just flow across the photo and the colors play off each other. |

Very nice. It almost looks like it was selectively desaturated due to the natural black and white background. My eyes may be bad but it looks like the focus point is right on the front ridge of the salmon which appears nice and sharp. I think it made the orange zest and part of the orange a little out of focus.
I just used the Online Depth of Field Calculator for a quick check. I just assumed you were shooting aboout 3 feet away from the subject. Here is the data using your shot settings:
Subject distance = 3 ft
Depth of field
Near limit 2.87 ft
Far limit 3.14 ft
Total 0.26 ft
That means you had about a total of 3 inches of focus range which is .13 feet in front of and .14 feet behind the plane of the subject.
I run into this problem with my 50mm lens all the time. If you are shooting up close, you really have to use a small aperture. Using f22 would have given you a focus range of about 1 foot using the same parameters above.
Anyway, I liked the image and I hope the info was helpful!

| Great critiques received, I rather like food shots. I like the contrast in this of the two different shades of orange |

Nice colors, that I am sure would have attracted you. Very nice!
A little tweak to composition and and DOF, would just take it another level. |

I agree with the comments about depth of field. I would also suggest that you shift the camera to the right, so you get all of the orange in the shot.
Good idea, and I love the tones of orange. |

Looks like a great meal. Have a look at Henk-Jan's Food 2009 collection. He has some excellent examples of composing food images.
eta: I also enjoyed Henk-Jan's use of depth of field to create tension and interest in his food images.

| I love the colours - the focus on the grated lemon is soft. I think the photo would also have been better without the white vase at the back and with a fresh plain white background. |

| @colorcarnival - Thanks for the critique! Now that you mention it, the orange zest is slightly out of focus and it is distracting. I think I could have shot at something like f/8 without a problem as I was lighting it with a flash bounced off the ceiling. |

| i think a critique for this would be based on what you were trying to achieve. i love the combo of elements. that salmon looks so fresh and the whole set-up made me wish I could taste the meal lol. at minimum, i would suggest that you pull the camera back a bit so you can get all the key ingredients in focus. The OOF shredded stuff is the first thing that catches your attention and that kind of dampers the effect of a good food setting. |
