The black background really makes all the food stand out. So dramatic. Love all the colors, patterns, textures, and composition. Also, the reflections of the food on the black surface.

Wow. Great still life photos. As I said in a comment on someone else's page, it amazes me how some people find a good photograph where others see nothing worthy of any attention at all. It is evident you have a great photographic eye.

Beautiful work on still life! The isolated background really adds to the image & reflection too. IMHO I think diffused light may have worked even better avoiding some overexposed areas on the subject.
