jdredd said:heh.. not sure about the reddy cast... but that just looks really, really unappetising...
perhaps something to try would be a shot with more elevation in it... so you dont see so much of the oily soup... and perhaps try and work with less light/ flash.
then again, nothing against your skill.... i think its just that it would take some genius to make a picture watercress soup look remotely good.

more elevation? Meaning shoot from higher angle?
less light bcos of the shiny tiny portions right?
jdredd said:sorry i meant elevation from an architectural perspective... right now, you are shooting it looking down, i mean try shooting from a more horizontal perspective,
put the berry thingies at the top of the mound of watercress... and some wellchosen pieces of pork... and dim the lighting a little.

seankyh said:Take away some of the watercrest (think its too much) and make the soup clearer by diluting it it water. May not taste as good after that but would look better maybe
true.Paul_Yeo said:I think the highest stage of food photography is: even if the viewer hate that type of food, but after viewing, he wants to eat!
Eg, if I hate to eat fish, but when I see a fish dish taken by some expert, it is so well taken and makes me wanting to eat fish!...
dunno if I am making sense
