Lunch

A round poached egg, with a round of sour dough, trying to use the golden triangle. This looks better in colour than black and white.

I wish I'd moved the wooden board up a bit more to have more negative space around the handle and had it at a less acute angle. Relying on window light was silly, there's too much distracting shadow at the top.

Any CC would be helpful about bits I haven't noticed and commented on. Based on feedback there is a different version here and if you have time would appreciate you saying which you prefer

No CC from me other than saying yum to poached egg on toast, nice composition and this golden triangle malarkey still is registering in my brain.

[Cathy Donohoue]

I love it. And I so want a piece of bread.

[Joan Robillard]

Beautiful

[April]

Yum .. made me hungry

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Glad you are using your loaf. FAV

[katy]

yes please! It is a wonderful composition and I quite like the light

[Sally Ings]

Looks yummy. I feel that you have fulfilled the brief regarding the golden triangle.

[CristinaL]

Yummm! I think your composition is great! Thanks for joining the challenge ☺️

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Wonderful flat lay, I'll be there for lunch in 2 hours!! I very much like your subject: glossy and reflective surfaces with natural and textured. A good balance. Nice surface too. Did you paint it yourself or have you purchased the commercial ones? You nailed the golden triangle, it is a great composition too.

after re-reading the link, l feel you nailed the composition on this one. The board is at the precise angle it needs to be. Moving it up a bit might have put a little more negative space at the bottom but it wouldn't have made that much difference

[Junan Heath]

Love it! Beautiful shot!

[Dawn]

Nicely done

[Diana]

It looks fabulous to me, wish I could have some of that.

[haskar]

Well done. Lovely composition and background.

Thank you all so very much, I've tagged you all in a possibly imprpved version and if you have time would apperciate your view please.
Ellen the surface is my kitchen worktop

[PhotoCrazy]

Fantastic!

[Kathy]

I recognize that there's probably more space surrounding the plate but I like that both the plate and the egg pot are entirely in the frame. What I especially like about this photo is the DoF. Everything is in focus.

[Kathy A]

I prefer this version and I think the bread board is at the exact right angle. Great flat lay

[JackieR]

@kjarn thank you Kathy, I'll have one more go later in the month!!
@randystreat thank you Kathy, I have never thought to crop to clip items before, goes against all instincts

[Elyse Klemchuk]

Oh, I like both of these very much! I like that the pot handle, the fork and knife are on the perpendicular lines to the bread board. Also, it's bread and I would like to eat it right now!
