awediot: I've heard food is very difficult to photograph, and make look appetizing. Some nice exceptions to that rule here...and some no doubt delicious things that look positively repulsive [you get to decide which is which]... I chickened out of entering. Maybe if I find some good plastic stuff they say photographs well. ( 5 years and 2305 days ago )

Thanks. Quite unexpected as there were great entries from the others.
BTW, as you have traveled a fair bit in South East Asia as well, (judging from your photo entries), you may know that the 2nd place image is of what's called "Nyon-ya kueh", a historical culinary product of the inter-racial marriages between the migrant Chinese men and local indigenous Malay women over the last 500 years when an exodus wave of China men left their poverty stricken home villages,(leaving their women folks behind), to find work and a new life in South and East Asian countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, (and of course across the Pacific Ocean to the Americas, building the iconic Chinatowns) A kind of South East Asian "creole" thus emerged. The women were called "nyon-ya" and the men "baba" and "kueh" simple means cake. Thus you find elements of ancient Chinese cake making techniques using local agricultural produce.
Thanks, I didn't know that, very interesting. I have a daughter who has been living in Hong Kong for 2 years and before that she was in Singapore for 4 years, hence my frequent visits to that part of the world.
Lovely image! I think it could have been even better if you had moved in even closer. That is a lot of strong diagonal background and I think it slightly overpowers your composition.

Lovely photo, nice colors and beautiful shallow DOF.

This is really nice - I could reach out and take a handful - the composition is great as is the lighting.
Thanks.
