I don't post everything I eat on the internet... only the really good stuff. 28mm on a DSLR is a pretty good focal length to get shots like this, I've found. Inclusive enough to show some but not too much background, and small enough to allow close-enough focus. This one needed major white balance work, and I'm not sure it's right yet, but here it is anyway.

Maybe you're more of a perfectionist than I am, but this looks spot on perfect as far as I am concerned...

The general look of this image (colours, tones, the light, DOF) is really great.
