atanu_ghosh1 0 Posted October 28, 2007 In the animal kingdom, most animals are either harbivorous (eat veggies) or carnivorous (eat meat). There are very few animals or birds which are omnivorous (eat both meat and veggies) and human being is the most notable example such rare species in animal kingdom. This has led to a theory that originally human species must have been either harbivorous or carnivours, but not omnivorous. There are theories supporting either way i.e. those supporting human beings were originally harbivorous and those supporting that we were carnivorous. The supporters of the fact that human beings were originally harbivorous cite the Darwinian theory that human beings evolved from apes (and most apes are veggies, as we know), the fact that human beings cannot run fast unlike the carnivores who have to catch their prey, etc. The supporters of the fact that human beings were orginally carnivores cite cases like smaller length of intestine of human beings, our remnance of canine teeth and the fact that our eyes are in front of our faces like carnivores who have to see the prey in front (vis-a-vis the harbovores who have the eyes on the sides of their faces which enable them to see whether any carnivore is attacking them from the back), etc Of course, some religions like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism support vegetarianism and these days many celebraties are promoting vegetarianism which promotes them as well as the cause they stand for. Whatever be the conclusion about human race's original food habits, there is absolutely no doubt about one conclusion. That, veggies are more photogenic than meat. I have seen far more beautiful photos of veggies and most photos of meat show some gory sight or incident. I am not sure whether that makes vegeterian people more photogenic than non vegeterian people. By the way, I am personally a die hard non-veggie in my food habit :) Link to comment

wogears 186 Posted October 28, 2007 Composition is a bit sterile and the colors are not particularly harmonious. Most of the higher primates, from which humans evolved, are omnivorous. Many birds are omnivorous. Your evolutionary biology is seriously deficient. Link to comment
katzpjs 50 Posted October 28, 2007 Thanks for your commentary and I agree that fruits and vegetables make better photographs than meat, but when it comes to fish and seafood you may start a discussion. PS, I have not eaten meat for over 33 years. Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted November 1, 2007 A picture is said to be worth a thousand words. The words used in your request for critique are more than this image deserves. The colour rendition is good but there has been no thought to composition. Link to comment
thadley 15 Posted November 1, 2007 Beautiful image - 6/6. There are a couple of spots on the plate that I might have cloned out but I still like the image. Link to comment
