 I don't normally have this much pasta at home, I went to a bulk foods store and bought a little of each. Then I bought the tray, it's meant to hold candles. Sorted it all out and took the photo in my dining room.
Not totally happy with the clarity. Because of the large size and detail in the pasta, I had to save it with more compression than I normally would.

This is such a great poster, I guess its too un-conventional to ribbon, but a great simple photo for pasta lovers!

Nice attempt & good crop but the image doesn't look tack sharp with a little less exposure.
