Hi Ben,

Just came back to see whether you were inspired by the same image as I was, and indeed, I saw the same image of Chris Rout in a book and had my own take on it. (Here //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=48054 ). The book explained the lighting setup, but contained an error. It showed the light in the same direction of the pasta strands, which kills all the shadows. Great learning.

Well done.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Ben :)

I think this is a good execution. You have a strong theme of shape and texture working here. The composition in the lower right of '3' is also strong. Odd numbers usually work better :) The opposing diagonals also strengthen the composition without overpowering the focal point in the image.

This also looks like a great composition for magazine cover with plenty of room for a title and supporting text. The overall simplicity of this image also lends itself well to a magazine cover. I'm not experienced in this type of work but this seems like it would make a good cover simply because the image itself is strong and doesn't overpower the other information that may be on the cover with it...

Excellent work as usual :)
