Have you played around with vectors? The most interesting thing in these photos, visually, are the pita (tortilla?) wedges.
When it comes to photography, you can play around with how to lead people to what you want them to see. In this case, if you look at these wedges as 'arrows pointing', you actually have them, the way they currently are, pointing AWAY from the food.
If they were flipped, they'd be leading the eye toward the food -- or something even more specific within that bowl.
An idea to ponder...
Thanks for the tips. I appreciate it.
