T-Bone in cast iron - hero shot + detail shot, looking for feedback on styling and composition
Hi everyone! Looking for feedback on these two shots from the same T-bone session; a hero shot and a detail/close-up.
Looking for general critique, food styling feedback, and also something I've been noticing in my own work: I tend to always place the main subject in the rule of thirds intersection. Curious if that's coming across as too formulaic or if it's working here.
Shot on Nikon D300, 105mm macro lens, cast iron skillet. T-bone with chimichurri, rosemary and roasted garlic. Thanks in advance! 🙏
#1= 50mm, 1/320, f/3.2, ISO 200
