Challenge: Before and After II (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Location: Dining room table
Date: Dec 9, 2008
Aperture: 9
ISO: 400
Shutter: 0.6

 Converted from Raw, shifted the gamma offset to make the black paper blacker (came out a bit grey)

Lighting caused a headache until the husband suggested reflected light and then all of a sudden it got much much better!

Theres an annoying spot and the slight redness on the corn is annoying but it was either that or grey background which looked worse.
Probably get a 5.1 for this

Underrated, i loved your idea!! Very clever and funny, I just think if the saturation and contrast was a bit higher it would've given a nicer punch to it

Nice idea, but the circles kind of make it kernel look like those thought bubbles you would see in cartoon and comics. Almost as if the kernel was thinking about being popcorn. Lighting is good and I like how I can see some of the detail on the piece of pop corn.
