Thankyou all for your kind words. I got my first goal reached for 2006, to make it to 80%. Also my second goal, to break a six. My last goal is to keep it consistantly in the 40-50% range overall. Of course, that has already gone by the board, but maybe if you take all the scores from 2006, it will be there.
I have to admit when I did this photo, I pretty much took it out of a recipe book and tried copying it. I even painted a pepper shaker just like the one in the book, and I edged a napkin with yellow paint, and painted some wooden utensils ivy green. A few things I forgot (like a little grated cheese on the side, and some over the food) but generally it came out nearly the same tones and placement as the original image. It was absolutely delicious, but I am a veggie freak anyway.
Congratulations on a fine finish! Nice set-up and colours. Could be my monitor but the salad looks a little soft. Nevertheless, good job and very happy for you. :)
I like the lines created by the utensils, cutting board and cloth under the baord. The colors seem a bit off to me though and the top seems a bit overexposed. With all of the shapes and textures in the bowl, I might have chosen a plain bowl instead of one with so much decoration itself. Hope you enjoyed eating it... it looks yummy!
