Sipho, I really like the selective coloring, I think it does a great job of emphasizing the subject. The blown-out white on the chef's shirt is distracting, though - can you try toning that down a bit? I'm assuming the style of the text is the restaurant's logo and not just a design you came up with? If so, I would leave it in - I think it does a very good job of illustrating how this image could be used in their advertising, on a menu cover, etc. I think it makes the image look very "marketable".

I tried like the devil to tone that shirt down. I'll try some more! I designed (on the fly) the text/logo. Just chose a font I thought fit, and then made the text fish shaped, then put a little swoosh behind it. I'm hoping they will want it for an ad, then I can sell it for some money! That was the goal (the ad) I had in mind when I did it. I was going to offer them a copy for their wall and suggest how great it would be as an ad.

I like the shot but also think the hairy arms are a bit unappetizing. Can you remove them (the hairs!). It is a great photo but I think that because it is for a restaurant setting it might need to be a bit "warmer". Just my humble opinion! :)

Thanks for your thoughts, Marianne. I'll have to figure out a way to remove the hairs without making his arms look plastic. As for the warmth, there was no warmth in the restaurant. Very clean, straight, ultra modern lines, tile floors, etc. If I warmed it up it wouldn't be true to the restaurant.

OK, I got it !!! (For future use) Next time, just have the chef holding the tray out for presentation, rather than putzing with the stuff on the plate. BTW I like the colors, look a tad artificial but maybe it's because of the b&w contrast they're set against. ;>) Hey, anyone seen my light gray seamless muslin around? (I can't find the thing anywhere).

Mark, see my other heavily Photoshopped photo of the same chef doing exactly what you just suggested! http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/Discussiondetail.php?threadID=528719

Everyone seems to be pretty complementary about this photo but I see a glaring flaw that nobody else has picked up on. Your film must have been defective 'cause the color is missing in a lot of the picture. BTW, if you do remove the hair, send it my way and I'll paste onto the top of my head.

How about some g-blur to make the hair less obvious? I like this shot though! I am like you and prefer the high saturation look and the whites nearly blown out. This would be a great photo for ads or menus or even just a fantastic shot to hang in the restaurant, but I think they will love this! Good luck!
