43rd place?? I did not expect that. :( You were robbed my friend. This is still one of my favorites in the challenge, and you did a fantastic job. I look forward to more of your work.
In retrospect, I guess maybe it scored lower because this is a "Stock Cooking" challenge, and I suppose this isn't a typical stock cookbook type picture.... So maybe it would have scored higher in a different challenge.
You mean Pizza?...nice stock photo but I would have liked to see more of the pizza oven and the pizza. Perhaps if you had shifted your angle so that the pizza maker, the pizza and the oven would all have been in the frame?
