I think the crop really makes a huge difference to the pic. It really focuses the attention on the food. Great work mopping up the spills & crumbs as well.

This looks great.. those actions really made the pictures turn out fantastic. I can’t wait to see what my pictures look like.. even though I’m just starting. My Nikon d90 is awesome!
