Neutral I don't know how to put it, but it misses something to me... I wouldn't feature it on a cook book. Not sure if it's the too "random" setup. The framing is a bit tight with the cut shadow on the left. - Benh (talk) 19:13, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- This is the setup that I use when I do this. I like to have it in normal "working order". I was actually fixing the carrots when I thought of taking a shot of it. So I just put down the knife, washed my hands and fetched my camera. I was sure someone would object to the crop if I did it, or to too much space if I didn't. So first I uploaded a wider version. Feel free to revert to it if you find it better. With food photos on FPC, you are "damned if you do and damned if you don't". :) For any food media from this century, this would be the preferred crop. However, I have seen how modern food photos are treated here. --Cart (talk) 19:17, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Oh well, I've reverted it. I guess someone will ask me to crop it now. ;) --Cart (talk) 19:39, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

- Support maybe would prefer a surface with different contrast, but this works for me. wonder if the photographer has a preferred method of cooking... — Rhododendrites talk | 04:20, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- I was considering moving it all from my work table to some other surface, but decided I liked the tone-in-tone warmth of comforting colors. Part of the batch became an extra layer in a lasagne (I try to make it healthier). The frozen bits will be used in smaller portions together with other vegetables with stir-fried noodles, garlic and chicken. I'm not a fancy cook. --Cart (talk) 04:54, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
Question - I like the composition and will probably vote to support, but I feel like I'd like a little more room on the bottom. I guess that's not possible? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:18, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
- It's possible, I left a good space around it all to allow for different crops, not sure it's a good idea though. It would create a lot of empty space just to get a little extra room for the stand. Let's hear what others have to say. --Cart (talk) 11:45, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

- Support - Very good of its type, sharp and a good composition, so I'll give a little and support in spite of not being able to get the bottom crop I want. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:57, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

Comment Just to say... I prefer the square crop. It's like prose where the author has trimmed anything unnecessary. The larger crop has the shadow of the blow and chopping board. That said, as a repository rather than a publisher, the larger crop allows options that a tight one eliminates. -- Colin (talk) 20:59, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
