A visit from the Critique Club :)

Ok, first two things I thought of were "I don't get it" and "It's too dark"

After looking for it a while I retracted my "too dark" remark because you have all of the elements well lit. Infact I would say the noodles are perfectly lit since they do show depth and very intricate bends and curves. They also have a good texture.

I read some other comments and the suggestion was that the cork was the stranger in the strange land but I fail to make this association as the cork seems to fit perfectly with the container so the "I don't get it" remark is still appropriate.

I think if I was doing this photo I would try it with a frame full of those noodles and another different type of a noodle. Something very similiar to the grapes photo I have done for the Fruits & Veggies challenge.

Another thing that I did notice was that the jar was a centered and I feel shifting it a little to the left would have made for a stronger composition.

This shot looks over exposed IMO.

Cool shot, I love the road. Seems a bit bright on the contrast though. The colors seem just a bit washed out.

Ever use a polarizer? It will keep the sky from going stark white. It keeps the colors from getting out of control when there is more than an adequate light source, in this case, the sun. Good luck - Inspzil

Your photo says "funny" without the title. That seemed to be a little rare in this challenge. 8

That looks like my hill! I'll take a picture of mine and send it to you when I find out who you are. Good composition and fresh idea.
