The South Indian staple breakfast item of Idly, Sambar and Vada served on a banana leaf.Note the stainless steel plates & cups characteristics of south Indian dining tables
Oppose the framing is too tight, the plate is cut, so is the cutlery. DOF is too low, the parts close to the camera are out of focus, the table makes an irritating background partly due to the reflections, cup in the background is distracting. The lighting is bland, the top of the tonal range is only used in the blown-out reflection of the overhead neon lights in the spoon. Due to the lighting the white substance in front seems rather structureless (it beeing out of focus makes it worse). The viewing angle overaccentuates the front (I'd suggest a bit more top-down). The structure of the Vada is also unclear from this angle. Is it a doughnut-shape? Cuting the items in a way that their crossection becomes visible would increase the value of the illustration. --Dschwen20:46, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - could you describe the individual items we see on the plate and associate them with thier names in the description page please?--Deglr632821:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Nothing special at all - a photo of a dish; not a good one either. I see this every day in front of restaurants - here in Japan. Mikeo00:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
