Some recent food shots
I've been learning to cook - so food is the only thing I've been taking shots of lately 
1. Chicken & Peas served on a bed of raw spinach (cooked with garlic, onions and a bit of turmeric and s&p)
2. Spag Bol!
3. Chicken and chips with peri peri relish and coleslaw, salad.
4. Melon!

unfortunately tho, I can't have them often as they're not detox-compatible. I had the Spag bol last night and the chicken today - it's my weekend off the detox Btw, the first one is tastier than them all
those sautéed onions and peas give an intensely sweet flavour. I would normally serve with barley cous cous, but then saw someone serve some beef on raw spinach and thought I'd give it a try with that dish... it's surprisingly filling! Not at all 'salady'.

They all look very nice Azz.
You're getting pretty 'arty' with your focus and composition.

They all look delicious to me Azz. I always enjoy seeing your food shots.
In terms of photography, I think 1 and 4 are the most successful. I like the idea of the play with dof on number 3 but I think it would work better if the in focus plate of food took a stronger position in the photo rather than peeping around the oof salad. It would be worth playing with your angle and composition on that one as I am sure it could work well.

Thanks guys 
Em, I see what you mean. Although I actually played with varying degrees of what's in/out the frame/focus but that one seemed to work the best at the time for some reason. I usually take about 20 shots of each dish, but when I've picked my faves delete the rest as I think its a bit of a waste of hard disk space keeping shots of just food however that was yesterday so will hunt them out of the trash can and see if I like any others..
Hows this one:
My only prob with this one is that you can't really see the chicken.
