Why, Yes it does! Or Diet Pepsi! Not sure about meeting the challenge subject and the plate is fuzzy, don't know what is on it but it's not very appealing, you would need diet something to wash it down, LOL

I had this same idea (only I was going to put ice cream on a bed of lettuce). It is always good to watch your caloric intake when your meal already contains your daily allowance of fat! Not very good focus in the foreground.

Well, you got something flying but that's about it. There isn't much else interesting about this image' It isn't quite in focus. That could be because the camera was trying to focus on something other than what you had in mind, autofocus is annoying like that. Or more likely this is slight camera shake. Learn to brace your camera against something or get a tripod. It is very hard to hand hold at the exposures that a digital camera allows us to use. Your lighting is off, by exposing for the shadow, you have over exposed for the background. It might be better not to include both shadow and bright sun. Also this harsh mid day sun is the most difficult and most unintersting lighting, Try shooting early morning or late afternoon when the light is better. Read the tutorial on the Rule of thirds - human nature, probably due to the biology of binocular vision, is drawn to the cross of the thirds lines. Notice what you have place at these points: ... Are those the most important visual items? Did you mean to emphasize them?

Are those the most important visual items? Did you mean to emphasize them? Your bird is slightly off center, that is better than smack in the middle. What did you find captivating about this shot? Do you love it? Or are you just trying to enter any old thing.

Funny title, it kind of fits the image so well. It seems as if it is landing tho and not taking off.

Talk about barely meeting the challenge. ;) Good shot,. but I wish it was coming towards you. (My guess is it was, and this was the best shot that came out - that happened to me!)
