 Noticed this metal skimmer implement when cooking for Thanksgiving, and thought of the "polka dots" challenge because of the round holes. Ended up setting it in a clamp on the kitchen table with sunshine coming through the blinds. Used decorative paper leaning on an open cookbook to catch the shadow and give the impression of old style wall paper.

Nice, but could've been shot in a way that made it more interesting.

An interesting concept and pattern, but perhaps could be a bit more interesting in the execution.

I like the idea, the composition is good. But maybe more lighting and the shadow of the window grill(?)should have not been there.
