Why does this photo above work so much better than the one just below?

I got much closer. That is the biggest difference between the two photos. When I got closer I was also able to control the background more and clean it up.

I also took some shots of the new power food kale salad of Chick-fil-A's. I was surprised to hear that the Kale salad from McDonald's had more calories than the Big Mac. So much for healthy from McDonalds. Here is the nutrition information for the Kale Superside at Chick-fil-A:
Tips:
- Custom White Balance [earlier blog post for instructions on how I do it]
- Get Close
- Watch your background

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
