Roasted Sweet Potatoes Salad with Blue Cheese Plump Cranberries

This is the results of today shot, my second assignment for the foodstyling course that I am taking online. Its interesting actually how your eyes and camera see, and how you see it again on the screen an hour later. So different! I am really learning to take my time and be patient, really! But yes I was having so much fun and it was nerve wrecking ( although did not involve bungee jumping or any kind of extreme sports), silly me I think I was too  excited. Well well well. I think it would be a pretty damn good salad too:

So this is what I thought of thanksgiving salad:
Sweet potatoes roasted with olive oil with drizzled honey with various greens ( spinach, baby arugula, chicory), then the gooey blue cheese, plumped cranberries ( just normal dried cranberries taht I soaked in cranbery juice overnight), some toasted pecans, and berry vinegrate!

Its almost like thanksgiving without the turkey, and minus the 5 pounds gain because how much can you pigging out on salad?
But anyways  I know the picture is not perfect, any critique on the photo is welcomed.

Thank you: good eat!

Sliced ham sandwich with caramelized beets

First shot of sandwich after years ago.  This is a sliced ham sandwich with caramelized beets, mushroom and gouda cheese. Who needs the conventional normal ham and cheese? This is definetely a hearty meal. I love how the beets adds  sweetness and balance the salty ham. Seems like the mushroom and beets combo brings out the earthiness of this sandwich. Love it. What do you think of the styling of the sandwich? Its quite tricky to layer and make sure every different ingredients is showed off nicely.
