I see. In my book, there is much more and it starts with the most important yet essential - sharpness for start. These food photos here aren't all sharp in the right spots, are they? But the biggest problem I see is with the literal quality of photos. This is taken with the phone I guess, and there is a lack of good pixels, a lot of places burnt out due to the missing data. Maybe is time for MO to step up a game and buy a new phone or wait for it, camera :) I can teach her food photography and we might get some high-quality food photos. After all, she is in Thailand, the land of colors and details. The food there is out of the world. Fresh, colorful, texture-rich, etc.

If you question yourself why I asked you this question, I can explain. Some are spending a lot of resources (time, money and talent) to make high-quality food photos, and when people praise low-quality photos like this, discredit true masters, and we go only backward as a community. The same happened on Instagram if you remember. It doesn't matter if your works are great as long you show your butt with it, or have a lot of "followers". If we will praise GOOD, the posts on HIVE will be good. And yes, there is always room for improvement.

Now, if you truly meant it, I recommend you to check photos all over the internet and recalibrate your definition of quality. If you wrote it just to get some attention and hope for curation to earn something, then just forget about it...
