This was a backup concept since I couldn't find my prop for the good idea. A very simple shot that I set up on a floor next to a window. I used an oversized platter and serving fork to make the "meal" look even smaller. Slight levels, USB, overall desaturation and spot saturation adjustments. Cloned some dry edges on the carrot and blemishes on the fork.
Actually, I think this one is a little boring, but what the heck.

hehe, this is funny...probably because i actually occasionally go to a fancy-schmancy gourmet restaurant here that serves similar portions. and btw, i think that's my grandma's silver. ;)
Remarkable lighting in this photograph. I like how the embossed design in the plate show itself so subtly. Good composition and fitting for this challenge.
You have done a good bit work on it and the idea works in the image. But I can't fail to notice the not so clean looking fork. I think that bit takes away from a rather clinically clean image.
This feels like the china should be more white. Might benefit from 10% crop on left side, seems like a tad too much empty space there. It's unfortunate, also, at least to my eye, that everything "in" the picture is above the vertical center. If the veggies (which are beautiful) were dropped a little more below the fork, and fork/veggies both were moved down a tad, this might be more dynamic
