food photography

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Well I thought I'd post my first shot to see if it works. This was taken with my new 1.4.... It was my lunch at the nearby pub - only $5!

Is the problem the "?v=0" after .jpg?

It's not an image.

Image points to code, not an image.

EDIT: By the powers of being an admin, I fix you! :lol:

Hi,

nice lunch, which pub? In terms of image showing up, get rid of the bit after .jpg . Would have liked to see the full plate, or is there a bite missing out of the sandwich :wink:

The forum software with the img tag only takes links that finish with .jpg, for security reasons.

Edit: got to be quick! three other geeks got in before me :shock: :shock:

You obviously have shot food before. Great light and crop. The colours are fantastic, infact I am getting hungry again looking at this image... :D

Good work.

May be its just me, but does the image look sloped towards the right. Its really a good capture and does evoke hunger pains. :D

Lovely shot jben - as has been said already, it looks quite professional. For me, however, the OOF area at this end of the sandwich is a little distracting and I would have preferred to have seen the whole meal nice and sharp. Apart from that...I can almost smell it!
Well done.
