Description

This close-up food photograph by Dominic Episcopo features an open-faced toasted bagel resting on a worn wooden surface. The dark-crusted bagel is generously spread with white cream cheese and layered with folded slices of orange smoked salmon. Thin rings of purple red onion, sprigs of fresh green dill, and coarse specks of black pepper garnish the top. The lighting is direct and warm, casting sharp shadows that emphasize the varied textures of the ingredients. A portion of a round white product container is visible in the upper left corner of the frame.
