These six gurnards look like they are about to start singing. It makes you want to take them home and make a nice bouillabaisse. (Cream of the Crop: Sarah Coghill – Gurnards)

If food portraiture is going to work, you want to reach into the frame and eat it right away,” said the judges. Most people will have seen versions of this in magazines “but this is about as perfect as it comes”. (Marks & Spencer Food Portraiture: Jonathan Gregson – Caramel Pears).
