Food photography is an art form in an of itself. These lack any suggestion of a serious attempt at composition. The plates themselves are poorly cropped, assuming they should be cropped at all. The color balance (but probably more so the dead lighting) makes the food look unappetizing. For images like this, there should be the addition of more settings (a glass of wine, spoons and forks, napkins, or what have you), to take them above mere documentation.
