 First entry with my new Lensbaby 2G with macro kit.

I have no clue how this will do. It could run in the middle of the pack or it could rise to the top. The challenge said get creative. I think I hit that requirement. The best I can say is it might be a low 6. As far as pp'ing goes, I tweaked the general stuff in ACR, individual levels, small curve adjustment, cropped, and usm.

Very creative shot. The lone toothpick vs the multi-coloured background (which I really like, btw). Nice work with this one :)

Love most of this. Not sure about the background - provides a stark contrast but looks a bit odd/contrived? 7
