not as wonderful as the garlic photo you won one of our contests with.

I love the color and the placement and the negative space.
You rock.

And very inspiring too. How interesting to see all the colors and shapes in the garlic when placed on a white background. Do you sell your work anywhere?

I love how it's styled, very minimal.

I'm a foodie and lately I've become interested in food photography...having a lot of fun practicing! :-D
