 I generally cook healthy food, so thought i'd photograph my dinner! I made the vinaigrette too, a fantastic way to get myself to eat otherwise plain old lettuce!

Imported the RAW file (adjusting that all important saturation that you see in all food pictures!), adjusted levels, shadows and highlights. Cropped. Added some sharpness with the unsharp mask. Added a black border. Resized the picture.

nice entry, IMO the red bottle in the background is distracting

The light doesn't really do it for me, or maybe the angle or the crop? The background looks more interesting to me than the food. Not bad but could be a lot better.

good POV and crop. unfortunately there's more light on the background than on the meal. focal point is not clear.

mm, seems a bit uninteresting. the color isn't really popping, and i don't like the way the red jar/vase is cut in half
