As food photography I think this is a little too high key which takes the focus away from the food. This is exacerbated because the rear of the plate vanishes into the background. Peter

Thanks for the comments, all. Peter, whilst the high key effect was intentional, I understand that this is not the usual practice in food photography. I appreciate your valuable input, Peter.

I would like to see this from a slightly higher angle.
You've shot this from a fairly low PoV, and as a result, your DoF suffers, with the basil leaves and many of the prawns being out of focus. A higher PoV would have permitted you a flatter field of view, and thus DoF would not have been as affected. As with Peter, I don't think the high key approach helps either, I'd prefer to see greater depth of colour g.

I am sorry but it makes my eyes ache.
I know you wanted the shallow depth of fiels, but there is not that "one piece" that is buy itself in crisp clean focus to capture the eye. I just found my eye wandered over the photo with out latching to anything, thus "searching" all the oof bits. Do you have a shot with more DOF for comparison. I think the angle can work with a piled up dish. And it needs a background of anything but white. But it is always good to try different styles because some work (just not many of mine) Regards Waz
I think the fading into high-key might have worked better if the "horizon" line of prawns and coriander leaves had been in focus as well. I don't mind the high-key effect as such. Cheers Steffen. lust for comfort suffocates the soul
