Could definatly have been a perplexing image if there wasn't so much noise or pixelisation

It's busy, so it meets the challenge. Your focus is off though so your pic is blurry.

Your pic also seems to have a fair bit of noise in it. Look for a program called "Neat Image" or look in the forums for other programs that will help clean that up. Also, if I could suggest learning how to sharpen your photos. There are a few tutorials on the site which may help you produce better quality photos.

Good Luck! 3

Looks delcious!

I'm afraid this is just unappealing, at best. I guess it meets the challenge, but it's heavily pixelated, blurry and just not a treat to look at... :(

The out of focus just renders this as a bad image. If you meant it to be in motion then you needed to induce more motion into it so it looks deliberate

Asume the blurr is because you are trying to express some action. Fine experiment but failiure this time in my opinion. Simply unable to cach my interest and litle far streching considering the challenge subject.

I don't mind the soft focus (caused by movement?) of the pasta, but combined with the graininess and sort of flat color, it gives the overall effect of mush.

This is not even appetizing. Try using a tripod and better lighting.
