This is simply a picture of some pastel coloured plastic drinking straws taken in my home using a southwest facing window as the light source. I used the usual editing tools--including a fair amount of Saturation and USM--but, as far as I can remember, I didn't use any "artistic" filters on this. The shot was hand held.

nice idea, excellent color, nice light, good shadowing, ok texture, maybe a wider focal point, nice movement, nice lines, nice layering, overall a very nice job
Contrast and focus are just a little too soft for this to really work. A more diffused light source, with a stronger fall-off would have really helped. By this, I mean getting it to become darker, faster, the deeper into the photo we go.
this is one of the most boring pictures in this challenge... a line of straws... just a stock photo and would have done much better in a stock challenge.
The pastel colours do compliment each other nicely, but the pink one seems to be the odd one out. Still, I think that works so that the photo has some kind of focal point :)
