A decent sized gap between your final average and what the commenters average vote is indicates you've appealed well to a segment of the crowd. In many instances, that's my personal goal, since a lot of what I shoot doesn't have mass appeal. This is an extremely creative and different view of "popcorn" and something I would have voted high (had I voted this challenge.) It's clearly popcorn, it's well composed, technicals are good. The only nit is the red object which grabs the eye but doesn't resolve into anything identifiable. I really like the single popped kernel that seems lighter than all the rest.
Hmmmm, well this was a unique idea that just didn't work out all that well. I think you were going for a soft impressionistic feel, and ended up with a kind of greasy mess. It was worth a try though... it just didn't work for me.
I wish the glass wasn't quite so steamy and buttered so you could see a little more detail on the popcorn. Also the flare (flash?) in the middle is a bit distracting.
hard to tell what it is ( if I didn't already know) , but I can easily get the concept and I think it shows more creativity than some of the photos I have voted on thus far
