Another brown outtake

This looks like you put a gausian blur on the whole thing and then masked a little in the lower right corner. I'm not partial to blurry photos unless the blur is in the background to clarify the subject. I think I would like this shot if I could see the whole thing.

Having said that, I think this might work if the foreground was blurred and got clearer as you go toward the back. The thing (whatever it is) is forming a line that leads from the lower right to the upper left power point (where the top and left thirds intersect), and when the eye gets there, there is nothing to see.

Just thinking aloud; hope you don't mind.

What's a flake? It looks sugary. I think you are right that it wouldn't have scored very well -- the focus isn't good enough for most voters. Also I think they like to be able to identify the object. It's a nice brown and the lighting is good.

The one open window adds the factor that takes this from very good to great. 10
