mmmm this looks yummy..I like the composition, maybe could do without the plate of food behind it, but it's not a big problem. I think with a wee better lighting it could rock, or maybe it's just because of resizing that it looks off.
Creative and very well executed! Sharp. Nice interesting but not too overwhelming background. This looks like something from a quality cookbook. "Wacky Foods" cookbook at least.
My only suggestion would be to focus on the single plate and the wine and forget about the plate in the background. Since the foreground is so much the focus everything looks centered this way. Just a little different crop would make the image much more powerful IMO.
The off-centeredness throws me off a bit, but overall this captures the food so nicely that I have to rank it high. The food looks delicious and uncommon, and the depth of field and colors make me hone in on that flavor-encrusted, sharp food. It really is appetizing.
