Steak with fries

1. The fries seem to be too even, and a bit soggy. That can be realistic if they are slow-fried or if they are oven-fries. However they are also tapered, so the ends should be slightly darker.
2. There’s too many droplets. I realise this might be to show “showoff arraingements” by the kitchen, but it still is too much. Kitchens would use fewer droplets and/or might use a trail of droplets, or even a continued line. Often they might even use black aceto balsamico for this, as it usually matches quite well with steak, adds a little bit “freshness” and contrasts well with the other colours.
3. The herb (sorry I know exactly what this is but I couldn’t remember its name) is too even. There should be like one or two leaves that are slightly brown or nicked. Also you might want to slightly brake that reflection. These leaves slightly fold inward to the white line in the center having most of the surface-deformation within half of the white line to its left or right. You might be able to pull that of, just by using the saturation (or the inverted red) for the bump.

Also there’s something up with the tomatoes, but I couldn’t say what. Usually their fruit-leaves are 5 or 8, but that’s not really fixed so 6 is ok.

Very, VERY tasty-looking, and it joins my desktop-wallpapers slideshow. Good work! Keep it up and coming!

Thanks for taking the time to help me improve. Yes, the drops were my worst decision in this render, it is what first makes you notice that it is CGI. The bad thing is that I realized it a long time after publishing it. At least I have your advice for when something escapes me

Anytime mate!

One more thing that slightly itches me: The collision of some droplets with the main sauce body. Since they don’t bridge into, but just intersect, it looks like the sauce is gelatinous. If you drip something gelatinous onto your plate, droplets landing on already solid droplets will not bond with them, but just wrap around them, looking just like a plain intersection (see the three droplets on the right end of the main sauce body). The simple solution would be to remove these three droplets. The complex one would be modeling them as to morph into the main body, smoothly bridging the intersection rim, like water droplets do.

Like I said: Nice render. Keep it up and coming! ( So TASTYYY…)
