[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Seafood steamed in young & fresh coconut. Its ingredients include shrimp, squid, lemon grass, ginger, fresh coconut juice, some coconut cream prepared and leave in the oven for about 20 minutes. The shrimps are a bit burnt out but they still taste wonderful. I added a soft diffuse effect layer, not sure why I need the dreamy effect but it seems better.

Hi Giap,

The postwork is nice but i think it's not really adapted for food. Colours are too flashy and strange.
TFS.

Hello Giap,

I love it....makes me hungry! Great work with post process!

Dreamy effect is like selective focusing which is okay, but the colors seems to be too magenta. I just hope your clients will like this concept. I believe in food photography colors should be authentic, so that the viewers attention will keep her mouth watering and hungry, an eye catching one seeing it oh I like to taste that one, it looks good. And be careful with the shadows okay. Cheers Giap.

Thanks,
Jeffrey
