The fruit and veggies look good....chicken salad is not very photogenic.

I think the colors could have a little more pop and the focus could be a little better - but it looks very yummy - I've never had it this way with fruit and all - looks yummy :)

Good mix of colors. The cherries(?) on the lower right appear dark on my monitor. The chicken salad is a little soft focused and detracts from the fine arrangement. Looks perhaps like the camera focused on most the distant objects and that the DOF was to shallow to retain everything in sharp focus.

I love the crisp colors and cut of the fruit/veggies but the chicken looks mushy and unappealing, 6 for effort and a creative idea.

The focus seems a bit off on the center (chicken) piece, and it feels distracting. I do like the framing here, though, and the colors work very well.

Unless your chicken is really that color you might reduce the red color.Nice layout.

Colorful, but the chicken? (center stuff) is a bit soft for me. Otherwise I like it.
