This is really creative and witty. But as well as that you have made the food look incredibly luscious and fresh, which is the main goal when photographing food! Beautiful lighting and the water spray is a wonderful touch. Nice work!

I love how this image makes the viewer feel a sense of anticipation for the drip that is coming! Really beautifully captured with stunning lighting and timing. The focus is spot on -it's perfectly crisp and clear in all the right places. What a beautiful result! Nice job!

Absolutely love how you are showing off the change in textures here. The lighting is really beautiful and the timing on that drip is perfect, I am just waiting for it to drip off of my screen! Gorgeous image - nice work!

I love the composition of this shot and the focus looks absolutely perfect. I would have loved to see a bit more play with the lighting to show off the grooves in the asparagus, with that small tweak I feel this photograph would really stand out - it's beautiful! Nice work.

This is absolutely stunning. Perfectly captured. and everything about it just adds to it. The lighting, the timing, the sharpness, and the depth of field is absolutely perfect for this shot. I thought it was coffee at first, which it also works nicely as - but I see from your description it's milk! Amazing work - really beautiful.

I love how the main focus here is on the egg box, rather than the eggs themselves. It's a little unique and it works really well. Also the lighting is gorgeous. I also like how you have framed it and don't need to put the full eggs in the frame to suggest what it is. Beautiful image - nice work!

I couldn't take my eyes off this aubergine, it looks like it's just begging me to cut into it. And at the end of the day, when photographing food that is the ultimate goal! Beautiful lighting and I love the use of the water spray to compliment the shine and make it look incredibly fresh.

I love this, it's very creative and gave me a little giggle. You have also done a fantastic job of capturing the various texture differences between the inside and outside of the egg shell, and the paper. Witty and beautifully executed. Nice job!

This is so beautiful, it almost looks like a painting! Focus, composition and lighting are all really nicely done. Gorgeous photograph - nice work! I would have loved to see the subject fill a little more of the frame. Or perhaps instead to have more of a story going on in the background. But the subject itself is stunning.

I can smell this photograph! I love how you have the beans filling the entire frame, with just a hint of the coffee mug with the coffee beans spilling out of it. The way the light is dancing off all the different angles of beans is simply beautiful, and the focus is bang on. Nice job!

This is such a unique perspective and it works really well! Firstly, the lighting of the broccoli itself is really beautiful, but the incorporation of implied movement and an implied human element really brings the image to life, and the reflection in the knife is an added bonus. Lovely work!

I love this! I can practically feel the spits of sausages hitting my face and I can taste those sausages too! Love the concept and the timing is fantastic. Would have been incredible if the photograph was just a little bit more in focus.

One of the joys of macro photography is that practically anything becomes interesting when you get close enough and show up details, textures and form that can’t be appreciated from further away. So why not confine ourselves to a particular room of the house, and see what can be found? The kitchen offers a great variety of objects to play with and explore.

This shot is simply stunning, I could easily see it in a magazine feature. The colour story is intriguing and the light wrapping around the figs is just beautiful. I really love how you have played with the focus too. Beautiful work.
