Fascinating perspective. I love how you can take an otherwise boring shot and creatively frame it to become a work of art.

Like snowflakes - the same, yet unique.

Looks like something from an ad. I love it.

Man, I love the shot...but it's dying for a foreground lighting...something soft to make those front canes just really pop out.

Happy Christmas to you all!

Wow...This would make such a nice program cover for weddings, don't you think?

Lines, Squares, Angles - and a Patch of Green...

This one would be so much more striking if the plants were in sharper focus. I realize that spot-editing is prohibited for this challenge, but afterwards, you might consider editing the plants out entirely, or at least sharpening them. I would also love to see the effect of this shot in black and white, or perhaps a sepia tone?

This seems like something that would make a good theme for website development.

Trans fat never looked so good...

For what it's worth, and for anyone who might have missed the irony of my title or initial description, I was going for sarcasm here. I got my donuts that particular morning, and they looked so good on the rack, but then when I opened the sack and noticed the amount of grease that had been transferred to the paper, I was mildly disgusted. I always thought these were the LOWER fat donuts...and when I held the thing up to the light and noticed how much it seemed to be glistening, I decided it might make a mildly interesting shot to make an otherwise tasty-looking treat appear less appetizing when you get close enough to realize what's in it. I'm not convinced I succeeded, as the voting seems to indicate. But thanks for everyone's comments!

AA funeral

Terrific. I experimented with something very similar to this, in which an "army" of AA's were battling an "army" of AAA's and emerging victorious. But this is far better executed than my attempts (which I ultimately abandoned).
