I like how the subject is well-lit in comparison to the background, and the color of the food easily catches your eye. The high angle makes the viewer feels like they're looking down at the food and waiting to scarf it down. I think that the picture is a medium shot because you can see the subject closely, but you can also see the table and the wall behind. I think this partly gives the viewer power because they can see that the food is defenseless without anything around it, and it cannot avoid being eaten.
I think the lighting in this picture is really interesting, because the food is by far the brightest part of the picture. This gives the effect that the food is the most important part of the picture. Also, the focus on the food is hard and clear, and soft and blurry on everything else. This adds to the importance of the food that the viewer perceives. The high angle of the camera makes the viewer feel like they are going to eat the food. In general, I think the message of this photo is that food is essential for survival, and this message is most clearly emphasized with the photo’s lighting and focus.
The photographer uses the lighting in the picture to draw the viewer's attention to the food. More intersting is the photographer's choice in the camera angle, most people would use the low angle to inspire more hunger but he uses a high angle to show us all of the food. Also the photographer uses a mid to long shot to show us the enviroment that the food is in. Finaly he uses focus to take away from the enviroment and add to the food. The topic is food, and the theme appears to be that food is the center of house life.
Medium distance, one can see the table and the food. High angle: towers over the food. Lighting: The bowl of food is in the middle and the food and is the brightest.
