Thanks for all your entries! Here's my judgement with some comments, which are all just my personal opinion:
@mollyc Juicy strawberries, accentuated by the depth of field, atmospheric lighting – gorgeous and delicious!
@iPhone-Guy Fat blueberries on the bush, not quite ripe yet. Don't worry about the portrait orientation, it fits the motive.
@Snowlover More fruit on their tree, apples this time, looking almost good to pick. I feel the photo would have more impact with a stronger focus on just one bunch of the apples.
@aperfectcircle Looks like a delicious birthday or anniversary meal with a side of strawberries. Nice lighting and depth of field, but I would have preferred the focus on the dish.
@Strider64 He seems happy with that fat, juicy maggot. A closer crop might have put him more in the spotlight, though.
@C0ncreteBl0nde Another juicy fruit, an orange this time. The depth of field nicely accentuates the details of the segments.
@kendallm That's a gorgeous and artfully decorated cake! Looks almost too nice to eat.
@BotchQue A tasty looking pizza, apparently handmade. By yourself?
@goldmac2006 A noodle soup with some meat and a good helping of leafy greens. An image worthy for a cookbook.
@Apple_Glen_UK A nice pint of Guiness fresh from the tap. The distortion from the wide angle length distracts a bit, but I guess the tight space didn't allow for a different point of view.
@StrollerEd A tasty looking slice of bread with what I guess is avocado creme, pine nuts, perfectly poached eggs, spices, and olive oil. Mouthwatering.
@arkitect Another appetizing shot worthy to go with the corresponding recipe. The dark background and the focus on the nicely browned crust make the image pop.
@squawk7000 A nice hot beverage (capuccino?) and a pastry (something like a fritter?) on a sunny day in an outdoor cafe. That's life!
Okay, that really wasn't easy. But here's my top 3:
