Reluctant...

...to eat this and disturb the 'mise en assiette'!

This is for my return to the Get Pushed challenge where my partner is JackieR - @30pics4jackiesdiamond - and I announced that I had been reluctantly persuaded to take up the challenge again.

Jackie's challenge was to depict 'reluctant' in any way that I liked so this is a second attempt which is a 'little' different from the first... and sorry about the unexpected colour - it had to be done!

BoB - some things don't change.

oh goody, now i have to think really hard on a good challenge to give you! back soon

[kali]

that is a very inviting plate!

[Richard Sayer]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - Well here we go again Jackie... this wasn't what I originally had in mind but I wanted a complete contrast to my first attempt.

[Richard Sayer]

@kali66 Be gentle - it's only my second week back!

[Richard Sayer]

@kali66 The plate was all my own work - I'm the kitchen king in this household.

[Joan Robillard]

Looks very delish.

[gloria jones]

Delicious image and well presented :)

How about looking at food in a whole new way and doing a food levitation shot? If you cant be bothered with strings and cloning them out, try dropping and capturing with a fast shutter in mid air, or some other way to give the illusion of weightlessness ... lots of possibilities . google for ideas if you dont have a clue how to do!

I understand your reluctance. but I hope it was a delicious as it looks here.

[Richard Sayer]

@kali66 That's not a challenge - its a CHALLENGE... I shall go away and consider.

[Jane Pittenger]

Looks scrumptious and I would not be reluctant at all to take the first bite

[Daryl O'Hare]

You know I love it! Happy new year Richard. 🎉

[kali]

Kathy @randystreat had a go at food levitation, perhaps take a look at what she did

[Kathy A]

I'd be very reluctant to mess up all that work too

[JackieR]

Good levitation is such fun to do, just make sure you have a plain background, as cloning out supports much easier!!

Now onto this...... It's fabulous!! Looks like a delicious mandala and after all that effort to have to eat your prop, so hard!!

Thank you for your fabulous responses to my challenge, welcome back 🙂

[haskar]

It looks very nice and it is indeed hard to disturb.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Food is always something you taste with your eyes first...

[Kathy]

@kali66 Thanks for the mention Kali.

[LManning (Laura)]

That is an artful plate. I needs must invite you here to prep one for me! Our luncheons are not nearly so beautiful.

[Brigette]

I’m looking for the anchovies 😋

[Richard Sayer]

@brigette Me too but the only anchovies you can buy in our part of France are like baby sardines not the salted ones you need for salade niçoise so I have to get family to send them to me from the UK. I currently have a dozen tins but they hadn't arrived when I did this.
