#3 and #4 caught my eye.

3- great contrast in colors, the food really stands out against the white bowl.

4- just makes my mouth water. loves it.

1 is nice but pouring soup into bowl doesn’t do much for me. If it were an instructional type of action shot, then it’d be better. But that’s me coming at it from a cooking angle.

2 I agree with WeezerMonkey about shadow issues. Cropping it wouldn’t leave a very enticing photo though.

3 is enticing. I see lobster. It’s lobster bisque. I wanna eat.

4 is too boring. No lobster pieces. Can be cream of carrot soup even. Since there are nicer shots, especially with lobster pieces, those are the photos I’d go with.

I like the collage!

#1 is lovely. You did a nice job capturing action, which we don’t get much of when we’re eating. I would probably lighten and warm a tiny bit.

#2 suffers from some shadow issues in the lower left. Cropping might solve that.

#3 is very pretty. Good use of “the spiral.”

#4 is quite enticing. It’s an excellent “crotch shot.” Bwahahaha.

I like the Pour and the Alternative Plating shots. I love when you bloggers do an up close shot – it gets me EXTRA HUNGRY!!!!!

I like the pour and shot #3 because food looks better (IMHO) when it’s photographed further away. Including the rim of the bowl is visually appealing because it gives me a sense of place.

I love the photography aspect of blogging too
