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 is technically very well acheived, and the dry noodles are certainly strange, but IMHO the cork should have been left out of the composition, since it's texture and color do not match atractively with the other 2 elements. I am also not very sure about the title, so perhaps the problem is that I am not understanding that the stranger is the cork... |

| Funny title. Well taken shot. No complaints, but I had hoped this challenge would bring more out of this world type strangeness. 7 Swash |

| I think that just a touch more light would really set this photo off... the noodles would look better to me if the lighting on them was the same a the top and bottom. I also feel that 'tongue in cheek' titles detract from a photo... - setzler |

| You went all the way around the world and pole to get this one. Not really sure it fits the challenge, but I'll sure give you credit for stretching your brain to come up with this. I mean, it is a really good, technically right on photo. But it's like you took the photo and then tried to fit it into the challenge. Photo = 10; Stretching brain to fit challenge = 10; fitting challenge = 0; average = 6.6. Since I can't give less than a point I have to round it back to a 6 because it REALLY DOESN"T FIT THE CHALLENGE. But I've enjoyed it. PTL |
