Took frickin forever to get this shot. Used stunt food most of the time, but had to go with the real thang for this (ie used boring ol Peaches and Cream corn instead of the nice Yellow Sweet corn...side ribs instead of back ribs, soda pop instead of beer...) And wanted to get it all in focus, from front to back.
Also really wanted to find the traditional red/white checked tablecloth...then couldn't find any clear table clamps to hold it in place on a windy day. But stuck with it and here's what I got.
Hope this makes people as hungry as I get, looking at it!

I really like this picture. The color and detail are beautiful. I think it would have been a 10 if the glasses were different heights, and possibly less similarly shaped.
The tiniest bit too busy for my taste, but still very well done. Very crisp and vibrant. The harsh light works well here and gives a lovely sparkle in the beer.
Great looking meal. Photograph wise not overly exciting, but your food choices and what looks like an awesome execution of your ribs helps it out immensely.
Appealing presentation. If it was mine, I'd probably wait to put the pepper on the corn until after the photograph, but it's yours and still worth at least a 7.
