Put a lot of thought into this one - sketched out the concept first, and spent time assembling "rough drafts" to test out which lens to use, exposure, angle, etc. After a week of thought and experiment, I set up the final arrangement and shot it on Saturday. Not that I don't put effort into my other shots, but this is definitely the most work so far I've put into any of my submissions (at least the planning and shooting side of it). Shot at 200mm.
Hope you like it!

This is quite good. Worthy of a front page editorial in any Arts and Cuisine mag/paper in the country. It's just the kind of photograph I hope/seek to achieve every time I engage the shutter release.
Karen, WAY TO GO!!!!!!! Your thought and hard work really paid off! This was one of my top few in this challenge! I'm so glad it has front page honors!
Karen, this was my favorite of this challenge!! All that planning really paid off. Congratulations on your PB and on the great score and first page placement. Yeah!!!
Well look at you!!! Congrats on the top 10 and a very good score - I'd say your effort paid off. And this was something I kinda thought of doing, too, except I would have done it with rocks since I don't have any dishes or stuff. :-) Nicely done!
Karen - congratulations on your very high placement and great score! I thought this was one of the best entries, definitely agreed upon by the other voters!
