My pick for the blue. The background stars could use more DOF, but I appreciate the extra creativity shown by making something special out of an already unusual fruit. The simplicity and brilliant concept really make this entry shine. (10)

A little soft, but great color, concept and composition. Well done. 8

Genetic variety

Good shot. I'd really like to see this one in color though, as that's the main attraction for this type of corn. I'd also crop about 20% off the top of the image to focus more on the corn itself.

"Check, please!" More icky than wacky, but well-shot. The blue tones really enhance the creepy mood.

Ewww. Not a very appealing image, and the focus could be sharper. No offense, but you should always try to shoot a subject that the voters will WANT to see.

Mixed Fruit Basket

LOL! Great idea. It would be even better if you ditched the inconsequential glass and plate and just zoomed in on the fruit.

A Flying DESSERT

My goodness- is that a Clamnana? Clever idea, but the low (presumably incandescent) light has resulted in a reddish image with a soft focus. More light would solve the problem. I'd also crop most of the right-side background and a little off the top. (6)

A fig tastes better when it's stolen

Cool squirrel shot, but the "food" part of your image is trivial and mostly obstructed. You might have been better off forgetting the fig- just title your shot, "Tastes Like Chicken." ;-)

Well, this shot does meet the challenge, but you could do better with two changes. First- adjust the white balance and/or use levels to get that background more neutral. It doesn't have to be white, but the reddish yellow color looks like a white balance problem. Second- rotate the image diagonally and use a really tight crop to eliminate the blurry part of the popsicle stick.

Hawaiian Style!

Clever idea. Why not finish it off with a beach-scene background or play sand? Good color and sharpness. I think cropping diagonally may have worked well in terms of composition.
