Default Breakfast!

What do you guys think? Read the Food article on the blog, and used the tip to get down low close to the subject.

I love the colors and bokeh, but am bothered that all of the food is not in focus. Not sure what the norms are in food photography, however. I'm going to go check it out. Looks like a yummy breakfast!

I'd try to close down the aperture way more. At first glance, I thought this was severe motion blur because of slow shutter, but only after a few seconds I understood that it's lens blur because of the aperture.
Or, if you wish, try focusing somewhere closer to the edge of the plate... but I really suggest closing down the aperture

I bet that was a scrumptious breakfast.

I agree with Klaidas on the aperture.

I may have turned the plate more counter clockwise so the front croissant was a little more in focus. But overall great composition, and you did good getting low on it. Looks yummy!

Here is a case where both using a smaller aperture AND moving farther away would help bring more of the subject into focus. Even with stopping down, you may not gain sufficient depth of field so to increase that range you would need to shoot from farther back. Did you manually focus or use auto focus? If manually focusing, use a high contrast image on a card (like a playing card) about 1/3 the distance into the image. Depth of field advances 1/3 forwar and 2/3 away from the point of fouus. Can you provide us with some details on the lighting and the EXIF data?
