thankyou for your comments earlier on me first round of pic, i hope you enjoy these.

Overall I like the clean look of the images, now to the nitty gritty

1st pic - Love the sharpness of the chocolate balls, but the coffee cup being cut out is distracting. Is it possible to make it more OOF?

2nd pic - The best one out of the lot. Oysters are sharp and background is nice and out of OOF to compliment the image.

3rd pic - Don't like how it's only showing part of the food. If you want to show part of it, zoom in to show more of the crumpet. Like the background except look out for stains and marks on the table and coffee cup.

4th pic - At first I didn't quite like how you composed it, but on 2nd and 3rd looks it's framed beautifully

5th pic - The left spring roll being cut out at the top doesn't sit properly for the photo.

Also I know you're trying your best to protect your images, but splashing your initials and the year over the image is very distracting when asking for critiques. Is it possible to fade it out a bit

Keep up the great work redline. Going from cars to food is a pretty big leap

redline

i like these imges as well...
can u share your set up?

love the clean white look...
very pro lookin'

WOW! Makes me hungry looking at those photos.
I've always wanted to take photos of food. I wonder how best to capture the steam/heat that comes off a freshly cooked meal.

I love the white clean look too...is this all maxwell & williams dinnerware? I have heaps of it, and if this is how it comes out in photos, I'll have to try it.

Is that a crumpet? Jolly good old boy, but cappucino? Make mine macchiato or espresso please, followed by a pot of Madura tea.

Great shots here, should be in some sort of travel brochure somewhere, maybe offer them to the Sheraton or Intercontinental!

Thanks Piro, i appreciate you feedback.
the last couple of shots were rushes as i got too hungy and ate the displays!

flipfrog,
with the setup i don't have any images of thr setup iam afraid, but i can tell you that i used:
2 pieces of tracing paper as sotfboxes = 4$
two 500w halo lights = 60$
2 secondhand light stands from fee market = 10$
2 foamcore reflectors = nothing, leftover packaging from the new fridge
lots of masking tape = 2$
a white table = its the dinner table
the most costly items were the food and the dishes/bowls.

Wacky,
defintly maxwell & williams dinnerware, except for the square plate. iam too poor to use any of this stuff to eat from.
they were on sale in most homeware stores 30-75% off during the end of fin. year sales.
i got the platitum cups/saucer for 10$ for 6, bargin!

thanks ozimax,
i might ask if the hilton are interested in some, depends though. the new menu have already being released.
