20090112 - Mini-meal

For the Flash Us and Minimalism challenges for January.

Apologies if this one's been done already by someone - not been keeping up with the minimal thread!

One slave flash to left of camera. Black card in the background to prevent reflected light coming back to dilute the shadows.

Hungry now!!!!

What a stylish plate too, very shiny and clean.

Love that shadow (another one for the "must try" list) and composition
Neil Horner12-Jan-2009 21:52
Er , how do you cook one bean ?
Stewart Mitchell12-Jan-2009 21:49
So leaving out the toast makes it a low-carb diet!?!?! Nice light Phil ;-)
Mairéad12-Jan-2009 21:47
Very professional - now empty out the rest of the tin,.
Anja Lieder12-Jan-2009 21:10
Not sure nipples make an appropriate diet.

You've been watching Masterchef, I can tell ;-)
Doug Cruden12-Jan-2009 20:56
haha, like the title, and the composition & execution is just right...hope you had more than this for your tea, though?
Scott Browne12-Jan-2009 20:51
Superbly done! Excellent lighting.
I originally thought it was an appetizer that you'd been served by some fancy, expensive restaurant.
Ann...12-Jan-2009 20:50
Oh! poor little bean!! Great lighting and fork shadow.
malcolm haslam12-Jan-2009 20:23

Faye White12-Jan-2009 19:32
Is this the New Year's diet? ;) I hope not!
Johnny JAG12-Jan-2009 19:30

Ray :)12-Jan-2009 19:29
Well, I doubt if it has been done with a wine glass in the background....

Good execution.
