I understand your theme for this challenge, even though I think it is a very weak one. In my personal opinion, this photo is nothing more than an attempt to meet the challenge. There is no creative use of lighting. There is no creative use of color or black and white. There is no creative use in perspective. There is nothing here that draws my attention in a positive way. I think that black and white was a bad choice for this image. The contrast and tonal range is rather flat, wich rarely lends to a good monocrhome or duotone image.
Nice concept but the glare from the flash on the upper side of the plate brings your eye to that instead of the pictures meaning. Its also unbalanced/ uneven and a bad crop.
A kind of out-there idea, but more appropriate than some others for the challenge. I like the textures you've captured. The picture is flat and monotone, though; I just don't want to spend much time with it.
This photo is just plain not appealing to me in any fashion. It's not a technically bad photo, although it could be a bit brighter, and I do see the "conflict"...it's just not esthetically pleasing to my eye.
hmmmm peas, i wouldn't have thought you liked peas, really, crop in closer and work on contrast... and remember that food shelters do serve more than peas
nice pic, but (for me) does not fit the challenge well - it doesn't say 'conflict' without an explanation. Show the pic to strangers, and say nothing. Ask "What is the first thing that comes to mind?" and let me know if anyone gets it.
Very cute and really a stretch to meet the challenge. I think this shot would have been much better in color, the black and white is okay but the contrast is lacking and the lighting is a bit dark for this shot, to me. The pattern on the table top is also a bit distracting, perhaps something solid? A 6
