mcdonalds is my favorite fast food and broccoli is my favorite vegetable. I like your perspective.

Clever Idea ;) Would have been funnier in the "Fruits & Vegetables II" Challenge ;) ;) I do have to admit the levitating was a really good looking idea.

simple and effective, it works, sort of at least. Very peaceful colours, although it won't make me go to McDs :))))

Great take on this theme. The colors are nice and the photo crisp and clean. Should be a no brainer for the top 3 if not the blue ribbon.

Brilliant, love the background too. The sort of shot I would have taken if I'd had the time or creativity!

wait a minute I never saw that on the menu!

I have no idea what the title refers to but I love the shot. Simple and in this challenge it stands out. The lighting on the top is a bit bright for my liking but a 10 despite that.

I WISH Mickie D's would serve stuff as healthy as that and I might go back there. I love broccoli, but it would be better steamed almost tender and lightly buttered and salted. Good background and lighting, though the top of the broccoli reflects a bit too much.

Creative, nice colors and lighting too.

Love the concept but the veg seems too yellow, would have liked to see it greener, but that is personal taste I think
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Great product shot. Could be used by the BIG M to promote a healthier menu. Great choice of background. You might have been making fun of the Big M..but this shot really works. Well done.

great shot but the title is a bit confusing - 207 calories?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2007 03:53:55 PM
good shot, good execution!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2007 12:33:33 PM
Lol - Well, personally I refer to myself as a non-vegetarian, so this turns my stomach. As for the photo itself: creative, clean, sharp, good color contrast between focal point and background.

I wish this is what they served at MacD! being a vegetarian I have never been there. .. beautiful shot and a great idea 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2007 12:11:22 AM
I wish. Well no, not brocoli. Snap peas! Mmmm. I found snap pea chip things the other day... they are kinda like cheetos but healthier. Yum.

Nice photo and concept. I'm sure I've seen this somewhere before but I like it all the same. The background is a bit much for me.
