I believe the intention of the challenge was to take a b&w photo in color mode. This is why desaturation was discouraged. I don't think the challenge was to shoot a color photo with b&W in it. It may be a suttle difference of interpretation. On the other hand, this looks delicious. :-)

Great start. I think if you opened up the composition a bit more, it might add more perspective.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad so many of you got the same laugh out of the idea as I did : )

Shallow DOF isn't too popular here, and this camera does it better than most non-dSLR cameras. I thought having the arc of the rind in pretty-good focus would be enough, and I definitely wanted them fuzzing-out as they receeded. I didn't want to crop out more of the foreground because of the spacing on the right. I'm also wary of over-sharpening for both artifacting and size issues, and I couldn't create a mask to selectively sharpen the rind.
