Citrus Dessert

This shot was for a client who sells pre-sectioned citrus sections

for restaurants. They wanted a high-end gourmet food look. Did they

get it?

Yeah -- the props cinch it -- the gold fork, nice plate, etc. But the lighting is just right; it feels like a setting at a window seat for Sunday brunch. great job... how did the client feel, btw?

Hmmm... I'm getting hungry already.... very nice work.

I'd just like for you to tell me what type of

digital enhancements you did. . .if any

Not sure why some of the ratings are so low. This picture does EXACTLY what it's supposted to to do. Technically perfect - excellent lighting, great background that complements but does not detract from the subject, no detail missed. Not the most artistic shot, but it's not intended to be art. Within the boundaries of commercial photography, I find it quite creative. It's an advertisment, and a good one. Nicely done.

The client got more than the "gourmet look", Brooks. Your sunny lighting creates the feeling that this food couldn't possibly have many calories in it. Masterfully done!

Very nice shot. Photographically correct.

Your client is selling citrus. I would crop out the background just above the fork. Now your selling citrus. The image overall works good as a recipe editorial. The cookie is a bit large, perhaps overwhelming compared to the fruit which is the subject. I like the cookie but should not dominant the image in size. The cookie in the image associates the citrus with the 'Tastes Good' factor. A bit of fresh mint on the left rim of the bowl would be nice to say 'Fresh.'

Just a suggestion tho-possibly a gobo to reduce light falling on the tablecloth above the flowers to keep the viewer's eye focused on the fruit. Beautiful use of color!

Looks absolutely yummy! I think the small area (where the buds are) between the glass and the blooming orchid that extends onto the plate might be a little too bright, though. At least, it appears to be on my monitor.

Excellent food photo with perfect exposure !

I think they got it. Great work. the setting is beautiful and inviting, but it is what's on the plate that hits you when the image is first viewed, thats what the client wanted, thats what you gave them, beautiful work.

An exquisite photo, perfectly composed with beautiful setting, colors and clarity. In one word; professionally taken!
