[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Okonomiyaki is one type of Japanese food where there is a batter that they put things in such as bacon or kimchee, etc. that you want, thus the rough translation of okonomiyaki is the type of food where they "grill what you want" in it. There is an okonomiyaki restaurant near China town in London called Abeno. In the photo, you can see the end result where the waitress grills the batter on the iron grill that each table has in the middle of it and she is putting on the various sauces on top as the last step. Yummm.

Hi Thomas,
Nice food shot. Good composition, it's nice and close-up and is all about the food. Good timing, to see the sauce being squirted on is more dynamic than it just laying there...I guess you can call this one an "action shot." There is an issue with the focus, though...it's a bit soft and blurry. Aside from that, it looks pretty good. So, well done.
Take care.
Richard

Hi Tomas,
A nice picture with an interesting story! I like the composition, and the blurry plate in the back tells there is a meal going on... However I'll question your DOF here, seems like the edge in the bottom is sharp but not all of the cake? Probably difficult situation when you shot this
Regards,

Hi Tom,
this is a good shot, but I think that DOF should be bigger. however closing F, will bring more blare into the picture. considering the available light, i think you did a good job. External bounced flash can help here.
Friendly,
Udi.
