First crack at food photography, please critique

[PhotoGnat]

Hey Everyone, this is my first attempt at food photography and I was really hoping for some good feedback. I think I did ok, even though I'm not good at plating at all. I tried to keep it clean and crisp. I really need feedback on everything really, lighting, composition, anything you can critique. I really appreciate the feedback and thanks for looking.

These are great and I think you did a good job plating them. If I was going to critique anything, it would be the lack of seperation between the table cloth and plate because there both so white particularlly in the first 2 shots in the upper left corner of the plates. In all honesty though that me really pushing for something to improve on because there great shots!
