Hi there
My Nikon D70's lowest ISO is 200.
Any way to get around that?

When I saw the thumbnail I was really puzzled why this scored so low, but it became quickly apparent when I opened it. You're super high ISO probably knocked as much as a 0.5 - 0.7 off here.

The setup is nice, the bread makes it interesting and sets it slightly apart from the other simple salad shots, but you always get torn apart here for "bad technicals" and unfortunately your use of high ISO has fallen foul to that.

the lighting seems a little off, and the background seems to have a weird fuzz to it (not sure if that's from over sharpening) this is just my opinion though...but it's still seems like a very nice picture

good one. Not easy to depict a salad in a tastty way. You managed. Would have liked a tighter/closer shot though.

Nice shot, needs a bit more contrast, 5.

A closer crop and attention to lighting would make this a real winner. As it is the plate (Center of attraction) is looking good!

Good job setting up the shot. The bread in the background adds a bit of interest. The bright reflection is distracting to me. I wonder if you could have somehow diffused that.
