I now regret changing the title. It was originally titled "Eat Your Words" which would have probably made more sense. Then I changed it to "Hard to Swallow" at the last second. I think "Truth" would have been harder to swallow then "hate", but it was too late to reshoot it. Oh well, too late now.

Good, creative idea adding a bit of message into the bargain. The lighting is a bit awkward being so harsh and low and the spoon looks out of place with the bowl.
What fun! Clever one, and wonderfully realized visually. Your shadows are awfully dark, however, most noticably the one in front, I assume from the lens itself. Very clever idea, however, congrats!
Obviously we never get tired of playing with alphabet soup. I am not sure of what I want to comment on, that is, I don't know if I want the spoon in clear focus with the bowl out of focus; or a cleaner, all in focus shot. I guesst the bottoom line is that the lack of sharpness detracts form this neat picture. The heavy shadow in the bottom of the bowl was adistraction. In my humble opinion.
Excellent work, this is really appropriate for this theme. I wish there was some DOF
I would have cropped this picture to get rid of the round shadow on the bottom of the photo, its throwing me off a little
Overall, great idea and nice shot.
I really like the lighting in this photo even though the next comment may very well complain that the bowl is too dark (don't listen to them). It would have been interesting if you seperated the foreground from the background by adjusting the depth of field causing the bowl to be out-of-focus. But using the light works well too.
