 Okay, When I went and looked at a photo of spam, the first thing I thought of was the soap bar from Fight Club... Sooo... for those of you that have seen the movie, or get this joke, hopefully you got a laugh out of it. Anyway, I shot this in the bathroom of my condo after the pain staking process of cutting out the letters in Spam. Luckily, its not as oily as I would have expected. As far as the editing goes, to get the right effect, I really had to do some adjustments to brightness and contrast. I did a crop, then sharpened, and sharpened again. Lastly, I had to adjust the saturation and a quick resize for DPC.

Good idea! Maybe a blurred background could be better than this pure black... I would prefer the wrist more diagonal on the frame.

I see there is more "artist" here than just photography. ;) Nice shot. I like the lighting. Concept is a little wierd though.

Aw crap, wished I'd noticed the carvable properties of Spam...but good job, focus could be a tad sharper.

Another creative entry! I like the black background. The Spam doesn't seem to be in focus though.
