The Image: I had the idea, but the execution didn't work. YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT - but I had a small window of opportunity to shoot this and did a quick 12-15 exposures and downloaded them to check them. went back to the camera, shot the images I was hoping for - about 60 in all (I really wanted the steam to come off the pasta. I ate the pasta for lunch. I THEN REALISED ID DIN'T HAVE MY CF CARD IN THE CAMERA! Ran out of time to cook up another batch and so had to submit something from what I had. So, this is way below the vision I had for this image. It's a little on the blurry side. Once again, I lament the fact that this is not advanced editing...
Why enter? Just to stay in the loop for my team.
The edit: B and W with a tint, levels, curves, noise reduction, sharpen.
Prediction: The way I am going - 5.2???

There's a subtle code here somewhere that's telling me who this photographer is...hmmm....not quite got it ;-)
(I'm assuming this is you, Enzo ;-))
The tagliatelle looks scrumptious I possibly wouldn't have shot this in black and white or quite so contrasty. You can hardly make out the pan from the background.
interesting composition, a little over processed and that can be seen in the unnatural shininess of the pasta. i like the fact that there is a little motion blur to the pasta, which in my opinion gives this picture some life. i like the sepia conversion.
hotpasta? Must be with a food photo! A bit dark, not one of your better food photos, IMO. I'm a big fan of your food photography, you always make it look so good. This doesn't look that appetizing, but don't get me wrong, it's still a good photo, just not among your best.
Very, Very Clever. Finally something that stands out both as a good idea, good execution and actually being a Self Portrait as well.
Composition is good, lighting is good but could have been clightly better. I like the highlights on the bowl, but maybe being able to see a little more of the bowl shape could have helped.
