 I was torn between entering this photo or two others. I took many shots to try to get the right one. The only editing a little cropping & resizing to size it for the challenge, also framing the photo

great setup and angle... but the movement is a bit distracting for me

Fun shot! There are some focus issues on the ACT II box that are clearly caused by the motion. Still a nice shot but the not fully frozen frozen motion and the lack of clarity on the box hurt a little.

Not a bad shot... I would have liked to see the popcorn in focus.

I like the sense of movement and the use of a narrow DOF. I think this would have worked better as a b/w especially given the blown highlights.

The "motion" of the popcorn just isn't working for me, knowing that this is microwave popcorn and you can't see it pop under normal conditions.... I know I am being picky, but it wasn't a bad idea overall.

The highlights on the kernels seem a little blownout. Was it natural light?

Nice execution. I would have liked it a little better with stronger colors showing, and a little more DOF, but it's a good shot. I can see this in an advertisement.
