Lox is not fun to work with. It 'sweats' when not refrigerated and the edges turn funky colors really fast. Either it is too shiney or too dull as it also discolors very fast when warm. Between shot groups I would have to replace the salmon as it just looked brown and gross after I sat at the computer and downloaded images and decided what I had to adjust.

Lighting feels off and the donuts get lost on the white background.

Yuk. I'm guessing the lox is a fish. Picture looks nice though.

Wow! This could be used in the high contrast challenge also, as it just jumps right out at you. I like the composition, nicely focused as well...but wow the lox is sooo bright

unusual combination that doesn't really suit the eye. but at least gets one to ponder that combination. could be an allegory for trying new things....

That is certainly a culinary combination I was NOT expection. lol

I would have used a different background since the doughnuts are white..but I love the white, black and orang on the plate...nice color scheme 7

wouldnt that give you a stomach ache??
You did well to keep the powdered suar off the salmon.

Oh I love powdered donuts...I like the simplcity here, I wonder if the lox were a little less "dayglow"/saturated if maybe a little more texture would be seen?...I keep wanting to see a bit more detail in the fish that I know os there but may be blown out due to the coloring... still a really interesting contrast of subject matter.

The top left cornerseemes like the doughnuts merge with the background. Maybe another background would improve it. Nice texture on the lox and doughnuts. Good color with placing them on the black plate, nice contrasts.

Nasty combination! POV and DOF good. Colors work. Crop/composition good for subject.

Love the contrast!

Maybe a tad over sharpend on the lox. Does anybody actually eat powdered donuts with lox? ;)
