Nice aerial shot of the spread , truly a feast. From a photographic stand point the image contain too many distracting elements, from the white plates, salt shaker,red jacket ect. The eyes naturally moves from low contrast to high contrast so you want to control or lead the viewer eyes to your specific point of interest , also remember the rules "less is more" try not to include everything in one shot. Solution : crop at the base of the red jacket's hand out, this will put back the focus on the meal. 2. Change the angle of photographing , i would suggest a lower angle ,maybe from the table's edge, also change my setting (f-stop) for a more shallower DOF and filling flash for the shadows. Again , D , truly a feast.
