FYI, I find the border stripe on this image to be very distracting. I've seen the same technique work well on other images, so it can certainly work... I just find it distracting, here. Perhaps if the image was cropped differently, it would work better?
Color, composition, lighting and overall technical image quality are top notch. The background bowl is very close to the edge of the frame and some viewers will find that distracting especially with the thin orange border cutting through the rim.
great angles, i'd lose the border to be honest and Im not sure about whole prawns in there shells as apetizing? Tails on yeah but.... I dunno its a great shot which just doesn't make me feel like I'd make it if I saw it in a recipe book. 7 none the less. (Forgot to say I think the prawns are a fantasticly natural colour :0) )
Very nice DOF and lighting. Also the border is nice. However, on the right side the border just touches the cranberry mayonnaise. I would prefer a less narrow crop on that side.
you're probably gonna recieve complaints about the red frame... well, you just don't need it. I like the colors, but maybe you could've cut out the mayo bowl the same way you did it with lobsters.
good shot though
