hmm...Anthony, may I know did you PP this pic before presenting in the first place and if, you did, what were those "adjustment/s' that you had carried out??
Btw, did you adjust on the contrast:think:, if so, mild, avg or strong, just as a gauge...??
I've helped to re-edit you Fried Squid pic as 'A Picture Speaks Louder than Words'...hence, please refer to the example-pic as shown below ...can see and glad to know that you're a keen and rather good learner:thumbsup:, bro...!!! (...Well, might have the opportunity in future...who knows when I'll need assistance/man-powers...!!!:cheers
:light:Just a gentle reminded: Please remember of the do's & don's when come strictly to 'Food Photography', and not referring to those that belongs to "Artistic"-work/s, thus, strictly refrained from applying "High-Key-shot", those unsightly and "Unnecessary-Tilt-&-Slant" presentation/s and most important is do not be mislead &/or misguided as far as possible, ya bro...hehe...!!
resized-shot in order to re-edit it, hence, sure must apply some sharpening and I believed by now/to-date you'd apprehended this 'point' ya...hehe...!! Swear to tell you the truth is only applied a 10%-input for the 're-edited/posted-pics' of yours, in ordered to re-upload...!!...hahaha...!! Thus, highlight had been reduced by quite a substantial amount man...!!Found some photos that I forgot to post :sweat:

Hi bro, well...you're most welcome...haha...!!
Yup...regarding about the sharpening of pic...especially after taken from your already
Btw, as you've mentioned about any other changes made.....well basically, your that particular shot was over-exposed somehow and thus, contrast was affected too - :bigeyes:which is a common "follower" (...wondering how many know about it...sigh...and have you ever wondering those near/washed-out high-key-shots for FOOD-shot especially...!!!:nono
Last but not least, I had to specially 'brighten' slightly on the 'green' so as to 'Blend-in' well on the whole...see that...hehe...!! Well and that's about all...!!
Hope you've learnt:light:somethings from here/this...!!
Bro Anthony, 1st kindly please note on that reflection/s -the spoon in this case, may try to place a nice piece of the food/meat
or if not, just place that spoon outside the dish and/or worst-come-to-worst simply just "throw" away that spoon lor...hahaha...!!!
for the 2nd-shot, well, a rather good attempt though...except need to show a bit more on 'what's-on-the-leftside-huh' issue...you see...as this is a Pork Chop Rice...but based solely on this considered quite a close-up shot doesn't "tell" about the "Rice"...where is the/my rice huh...hehehe...?!?!
