This was actually a very easy recipe. All I really need to do was marinate the pork chops and cook them.
Ok, so buy one of those 30-minute marinades, I used a Honey Dijon one from KC Masterpiece. Then place the pork into the marinade so that it is coated on both sides for at least a half hour in the fridge. Then afterward place the pork chop in a pan and broil is for 8 minutes on each side. The fries were even easier, these just needed to be baked at 425 F for 18 minutes. That was extent of my dinner. Hope you enjoyed it, it tasted really good.

Looks very yummy. But the cropping leaves me wanting on this shot. There is too much space between the plates and tehe dirty fork, though indicting that a bit has been taken is really distracting in the end. The colors are wonderful, the lighting is nice and bright showing off your subjects so an 8 for this one.
The fries look delicious, the pork chop looks suspicious. Imho showing more of the chop might have made it more appealing - and, again my own taste, I would have used a clean fork.
Very nice job on the placement of the plates. I like the in the corners like that. The lines on the placemat form nice diagonals. Looks like it might need a little USM. And a nitpick - the crumbs on the placemat are a little distracting. But, I can't talk much 'cuz I'm messy. :-)
Innovative composition. Just caught the rule of thirds. Gets a 9, though, only because I feel that you needed to bring the meat in just a tad closer. I think there is just a bit too much 'table' there and it nearly distracts. My opinion, of course
I like the arrangement of the foods, with the fork sort of 'bridging the gap' so to speak. However, I find the colors a bit off (makes the meat look a bit unappealing), perhaps the lighting? Or hue changes? Background is nice and uniform - maybe would've tried to move some of the crumbs and cover up that bit of wood with the plate at the bottom left. I bet the eating part was fun! 5
Good Points:creative thinking with teh composition
Bad Points: sadly it doesn't work for me, if the plates were closer this would be much better I feel. Also the food on the fork doesn't look pretty
Overall Score:3
good try at "abstract dining" i have two suggestions: wipe the crumbs off the tablemat, and pull the same down a little so that you don't see the wood table. Those two things, imo, would have given you a higher score from the "stock photography group" here at dpc. Personally, that gets old for me. I like your impromptu creativity. I don't think theres a enough of it around here. Cool shot, nice work. 7.
