 Once upon a time i made a miniature fast food meal for a project on Craftster:




and i didn't want to re-create the meal for this challenge (though looking back i probably should have) so i thought about other fast food meals that i could miniaturize.

i used cornish game hens in place of chicken and created a miniature fried chicken meal complete with mashed potatoes and homemade biscuits.

i'm not as happy with this one as i was with the burger. . .but i think it is important that people understand that all kinds of food can be enjoyed if one practices moderation.

and nowhere is the need for that control more evident than in fast food.

special thanks to my husband who helped procure ingredients and offered so much support.

i predict my entry will be blown away by others, but i'm reasonably sure it will be a personal best.

:o)

OMG, you're the one who did the mini burger! I love love loved that project! I randomly found it online and I showed it to half the people I knew. Haha...it's awesome that you are the same person. That makes this entry all the more fantastic to me.

I heartily enjoy this picture, the perspective and size is great. I'm not a photography buff in the sense of knowing technique but this is the first picture to get me to comment on this challenge so I'm going to say it's downright nifty.

Good setup and composition. My only nitpicks would be a bit more light, and that the fingers look slightly plastic.

One way to combat the effects of high fat/calorie/cholesterol food, cut down the portions. And and American flag to boot. Who in the USA could object to that?

A little dull on the lighting and a bit soft. But great idea and concept.

how deep is this bucket?The chicken seem to be slightly OOF. the potatoes are a bit overexposed; composition is solid with the diagonal through your picture

Funny! The stars being out of focus though is a little distracting.

cant seem to focus anywhere... but nice background

I love the idea, but it seems a little overprocessed to me. I.E. the fingers are plastic-looking.

Aside from the color appearing overly saturated, I like your composition. Good background choice too. Good luck with the challenge.
