nice idea with the shutter speed. Good idea to selectively desat your pic to draw attention tot he plate. The only thing is the colour on the plate seems a bit off, slightly pink.
I like your composition and the long exposure. However the color of the food seems off, perhaps just desaturated, but it makes the food look unappetizing -- which I'm guessing was very appetizing in person!
Great angle and colors. For some reason, I wish the plate at the front was empty... it seems to take away from the beautiful simplicity or the rest (I know, I know. It wouldn't be a feast any more ;-)
This was a great idea for a photo. I would have changed my vantage point to a lower position so that I could pick up more of the guest movement. I am assuming that you used PS to adjust the colors in the foreground plate. I also think that this was a good idea, however, it was muted by the food that was on the plate. It seems like just a heap of mushy stuff and the arrangement/placement of the food takes away from the picture.
I like that this is a long exposure shot, it really helps convey the energy at the dinner table. I would consider bumping up the warmth of the picture, it's looking a little blue, and slightly underexposed.
the colors aren't very flattering for the food. It looks a bit sickly as it is right now, I do like where you put the plate in realtion to the table as well as the motion of the people.
This is just how I would imagine a dream of thanksgiving when I was little. The distorted perspective, complete with oversized plate. The disconnect with the busily talking adults. Interesting take.
