My only goal for this challenge was to enter something completely different from anything anyone else would enter. Hopefully I have achieved my goal with this ridiculous shot. Oh yea, it's a french fry.

Natural light from the back door. Reversed the 50mm on the 75-300 at focal length 85mm.

I liked this a lot, enough to score it an 8. It isn't an advertisement so to speak, but it DOES show us one of the main components of fast food that we so rarely consider; salt. Nice shot.

I really liked this shot, I thought it was "out of the box" thinking but still pretty obvious what it was, a french fry with salt. It should have done much better in my opinion. FYI - I scored it a 7!

Hmmm, I think it's a closeup of soda/pop, but not quite sure. Are those ice chips/pieces? Interesting macro.
