I think most home-non-pro-off-the-spatula pix can be 'improved' by simply taking a second to look at what all 'else' is in frame and the general staging.  example:  was taking a pix of the holiday table - with an iPhone - looked at the pix and right there big and ugly on the left side . . . . the kitchen trash can.  so I 're-framed' the shot.

 

I try to take that pause for any of the plated shots, etc.  it can make a big difference if you take 10 seconds to wipe off the gravy drip. . .

 

here's another, a two-fer - (1) careless staging and (2) lighting differenceslghtng.thumb.jpg.0859e960fce503f9af201421f3a093ed.jpg
