Calamari
Marche (Vivo)

The calamari from Marche was the first few food photos I took when I started learning to use my DSLR.
Was happy to re-visit this place to take photo again and glad that the food standard did not drop :bsmilie:

Wow bro, really nice take... like a piece of art :thumbsup:
My only qualm is perhaps the 2 reflections on the soup in bottom left..

You also need some shadows to define the bowl. Or at least bowl and background of different colors /shades.

Thanks for the comment bro, I do have photos showing the bowl but just felt that the soup don't stand up from the photo. That why I choose this.

A lot of your other photos are on white tableware, but you have a mat underneath that separates it from the background. White plate on white table = loss of separation.

What would look really cool is a turquoise other lavender mat to contact the rich gold of the soup.

Thanks jfxberns, does this work better for you?
