Some food shots from Swensen

Didn't really like to eat Western food but find the colors pleasing so just eat to take pics.

#3

Which composition is better? :dunno:

The food looks nice indeed.. but i do not like the background, kinda distracting.. Perhaps taking from a higher angle, using the table as the background might be better..

Thanks for the comments.
Usually I like to take at a low angle to reveal shallow dof but have to agree with you this place (Chinatown branch) don't have good bokeh background

#4 another pic from a higher angle.

definitely not #1. u need to go above it more.

was it possible to arrange the prawns in a more systematic way? right now the plate looks very messy.

This one is a lot better, but can probably lose 1/20 at the top. The rest the backgrounds are just too messy, with too many hot spots that are distracting.

You are right, cropping 1/20 of the top will be better.
