Still new to photography. Trying to focus on making dishes look very appetizing. Any comments welcome!

Surprisingly, with 30 shots, the first one came out the best. I realized that I really need to have the scene ready for shooting before the food is done. Here, the butter on the potatoes melted before I set up the tripod.

The original photo includes the whole plate. I cropped it down just to see what would happen. The steak definitely stands out a lot more in the crop. It still looks good next to the potatoes on the full image, but the crop certainly gives additional dramatic flare to the steak.

Dish -- steak basted with butter in onions, garlic, oregano, and bay leaves, followed with a shot of tawny port toward the end. Onions from the basting were caramelized and placed on top the steak. Sides were broccoli with butternut squash and mashed potatoes.
