| Well done - especially for your first entry! (My first one - or several for that matter - really bombed! LOL) I really liked this shot and scored it a 7. I would have scored it higher, but the DOF seemed a little odd to me. It's almost as if there was too much blur at the forefront of the image and that the DOF was just a hair too shallow. That being said, it's still a good shot and a solid score. Good job and welcome to the fray! :-) |

| Person walking in the background is distracting and the DoF is too narrow for me. |

| This had the potential to be a really lovely image, but the dof is a bit distracting to have such a long plate and only the middle in focus. Might have been nicecr to have the front third in focus and then, in order to see more of the plate, either tilt it up in the back or swivel the angle a bit so it is not a true vertical shot. The colors and tones are nice and warm and the exposure is perfect. |

| whatever that is in the background takes away from the quality this image could have - awesome DOF though - nice work :) |

| A good idea. Lighting is fine and the use of shallow DOF adds interest to the composition. Unfortunately the dish appears crooked and will be a distaction for viewers. |

| I would have liked to see one whole copyster in sharp focus. Maybe move one or two of those lemon where you've focused.. Good though. |

| I honestly had a bit of a difficult time telling those were oysters...it was actually more of an educated guess really...perhaps a deeper field of focus would have been more effective in this case? More than anything the lemon wedges grab my attention...not the oysters. |

| Good photo with interest generated with colours, textures & DOF. Not sure what the person in the background is all about though. Well done. 7. |

| For me the POV is wrong. Or at least the focus should have been on the foreground. IMO. Can't really see the meat of the pic (the actual oysters). I think you were on the right track- could have been very good. |

Would have done better in shallow DOF competition :)
Nice though... background kinda disrupts everything though |

Depth of field is just a little too narrow - focuses attention on the lemon more than the oysters. I wouldn't suggest wide enough to have the whole plate in focus, but a bit wider than you have would be good (around half to one f-stop).

| Interesting angle to the shot. Needs to have a sharper focus. Also, perhaps would have been better to crop the top right down to the far end of the to remove the distracting black lines in the background. |

| I don't really like the angle this was taken from. I'd like to see more of the food. Right now the DOF is too shallow and the angle too low for me to see what it is. The colour looks good. |

I would have voted highter if the Aphrodisiacs in front were in focus.
Nice set up - it looks yummy. |

| Why the shallow focus, strange angle, and annoying background? Lemons are in focus and oysters (I guess) basically cannot be seen. |

| This is really close to being nice shot (IMO)... But your DOF is so shallow and as a result what is most clear in the shot are the lemon wedges, not the oysters. It took me a second to figure out what the "aphrodisiacs" were, because they were out of focus. Best! |

The image does not really tell me what the dish is. Can't really make it out without the clue from your title.
Perhaps a more diagonal presentation of the dish would have worked better. |

| Guessing there oysters? Could really use one of the suckers more where your focal range is, i.e. swap it with a lemon. Other than that I can very well see this in a cook book :0) |

| Lack of focus. If you're going to puul this one off focus on the front of the plate. Crop the top 1/4 of the image. |

| Maybe a longer DOF would improve. IMO prefer the foreground to be sharp. |
