I am not sure whether any person is -properly speaking - looking at food, and this is the sole reason it is not my top three. However, I also got bewitched by the boy's sad eyes, and the unreal atmosphere of the scene. The low-key light and the monochrome gives a wonderful sensation of being in a ghost story.

My second favourite in this context. You have captured the delicate action of dosing salt so skillfully, and the man's focused expression is a tribute to the art of cooking. Rule of the third is applied at its best, vertical and horizontal lines perfectly harmonize, and any item in the scene adds something to the whole effect. Impressive!

Definitely, one of the funniest pictures in this context. Vosually, it might be not perfect, the white is too dashing for my eyes, but who cares? The portait of this woman eating candy suger in the snow is amusing, bizarre and gives you the feeling of having met a wonderful character for a comody movie. Also, the similarity in color and texture btwn snow amd sugar is so much inspiring!

A photo I love a lot. The color choice and the whole organization of the stage is so glamorous and alluring, and the young man expression of pleasure anticipation makes you feel the need of urgently buying all these chocolate boxes. The delicate texture of the dark background is perfectly in tune with the overall mood of the image. If I had a chocolate factory, I would immediately hire you for my advertising.

Congratulation on a well deserved 1st place in this context! Your photography fully aligns woth the brief, capturing a wonderful reaction of this girl to an apparently (for her) unfamiliar, challenging and intriguing food. The lines built on the fork, sppon and spaghetti wonderful drive the eyes to the child's fantastic expression. The focus on the crossed-eye sight is so beautiful, and colors are sharp. Applause!

A wonderful photo, exploring the boundaries, or the merging, of eating and spirituality. The reds and the greens, being complementary colors, elegantly support one another, and The sun reflex draws wonderful eye-guiding lines, suggesting a divine participation to this well deserved meal.

Beautiful composition, beautiful colors, and the most charming smile in my top 10 lot! the slight diagonal inclination of the young girl and the hand gesture gives a pleasant, soft impression of movement, and the colors of the skin, dress, lips, tomato and spaghetti combine into a wonderful warm palette, dynamized by the purple-pink object in the background.

Among the best child photos in this context. the young boy's excitement thrill in unpacking the candy is a beautiful capture, and the use of a shallow field, with its difference in focus between this kid and the others, suggests it is exactly the candy to give him vibrancy. Monochrome is a perfect choice for the image.

Delicious photography. The attentive look this senior woman is giving to her bananas is a wonderful interpretation of my brief, the contrast between shadows and lights, enhanced by a delicate vignetting, is superb, and the capture of details on the lady's arm, neck and face is magistral.

In this contest I would like to see your best photos of people looking at food. People's relationship with food goes beyond the simple act of eating, as it can be craved, loathed and much more, with body posture and facial expression when looking at food often being telling. Colour and mochrome images are both fine.
