 I was really disappointed with this shot. It was a last minute idea about 60 minutes before the challenge finished. I did some dodging and burning which on my monitor seemed OK, but it looked shocking the next day when I saw it on other monitors. They are artichoke hearts in case you thought they were something else. My daughter cut out the pink heart which was the only good thing in the shot...won't do another last minute shot like that again...

Hey Enzo,
I'm not sure what those yellow things with chocolate on are but that dosen't really matter. I'm not sure if the background was suppoast to be totally black or not. But I'm seeing the areas that have been burned. Probably just different monitor settings :) To tell you the truth I expect more of you. You've got some really great shots in your portfolio. Your lion shots are just wonderful and I just love your "Preacher Man" shot. So I think you could have done better. But we all have our bad days. Keep up the good work. I will be watching you in the future!
Best Regards, Arnit

Unique idea. Some of the artichokes are disturbing...

Intersting image. Without your title, I wouldn't have known what those were. It's not a bad image, I just don't personally find it holds my interest as well as others in the challenge.

something about this very strange depiction of 'heart' really appeals to me.
