I'm wondering about how many voters thought my shot (Low-Carb Spaghetti) was produced with some post-processing.
//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=94108 It was straight out of the camera, actually, and I think the "pixelated" look is how the laser sparkles, and not a resolution issue. I do wish the fork had been in focus, though. Unfortunately, it was my lowest-scoring submission so far...any other thoughts?

I really likes the idea, but as I said in my prior comment - the oof fork pretty much ruined it for me.
Here's what I think could make it better:
1. Light the fork from the front with a different source - perhaps a blue-colored low wattage bulb. (On a tripod, making sure the fork is tack sharp.)It doesn't need to be the "correct" exposure, but enough light to show the blue fork.
2. A slightly more diagonal composition.
3. Do exactly what you did for the spaghetti - but try NOT having the laser right in back of the camera - so the main reflective surface doesn't create the glints. Don't light the fork with the laser at all. Keep the background exactly as you have it.
Let us know if you decide to try this. It could be really awesome.
