Hey, David, thanks for your comment on my dreams entry!!! This one (your picture) had me all freaked out during voting, I was hoping whoever entered it didn't have to eat plaster all the time :)) And so formal. Cool idea, I liked it.
Hmm.... there is nothing better than monching on some plaster :-))) (just kidding).
I really love your smoke effect. It certainly ads dreaminess into your image. Composition is good, but I wouldn't have chopped off the knife and spoon. I also do not like the thin border as the rest of the image is very soft - the border is too sharp for it (just my taste).
This image really threw me off at first, can't quite explain why but upon closer examination I think it's the missing plate! LOL! I get the idea, I'm pretty sure and I like the smoke/dry ice effect (not sure which it is) but for me this shot would have scored close to a 10 with a plate in it and the face mold looked more like something you'd really want to eat.
Different. Different is good:) Dry ice? Your take on the dream challenge is well done and I love the framing. Good use of thirds. this should do well 8
