Congratulations Mark, I love your image but most of all the way you chose to express the letters and the fork of spaghetti at the end. Your image is so well executed.

The red backdrop made this pop! I love the way you placed the spaghetti in a flamboyant design. Well done.

This one is in a different range from what I'm used to from you, Mark. But now I know why I spent so long lingering over the lighting choices and the almost surgical precision of the horizontal line in the surface for this. You know how to make everything in your frame work for you. Congrats!
