I think the second picture is one of the best I've taken of food, but mostly due to the totally random/organic "placement" of all the marinade bits on the lamb. Those combined with the glistening juices running freely, the char, and somehow I cooked it perfectly (quite by accident, I assure you...love the grill), made the scene.
i just got a lumix..older model. but it has a food pic setting. i'll play a bit and really get it right.

for all the camera rooks out there, turn off the flash..and try to use natural lighting. a north facing window providing the light will blow you away. that is the way they did portraits before the days of flash..
