Panko crusted onion rings

I was so self-conscious while taking this picture. It caught me off guard; I never used to hesitate when it comes to taking pictures of food. I took a break from doing so for a while and am starting to work back into it, taking a slightly more intentional approach to food photography.

I remember being very aware of my actions with this photo, taking an actual camera out of the bag and positioning it very close to the food, while in a crowded restaurant. I'm sure no one saw or even cared but, the anxiety was there.
