Challenge: What's In Your Fridge? (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Location: my fridge
Date: May 24, 2011
Aperture: 14
ISO: 400
Shutter: 0.5s
Galleries: Humorous, Black and White
Date Uploaded: May 24, 2011

 stuck the camera at the back of the fridge, put it as wide as the lens would allow, propped it up with my "block of cheese" brand tripod, and closed the door and fired remotely.

post processing was done in Lightroom, used SEP (high structure - no control points or anything selected), and sharpened, resized to 650px, border added, sharpened one more time, and then save for web.

title comes from a term I heard all the time as a design student. It basically means that your final outcome is only as good as any of the individual pieces (typography/form/idea/etc)

Image is PURPOSEFULLY busy, a reflection of the title and concept. I wanted people to focus on the individual pieces and textures- reflections of the whole- rather than putting importance on one singular thing.

*post*

Not really happy with how this placed, especially with how arbitrary/snapshotty many of the shots were.

Wouldn't mind hearing criticism if you have an opinion.

Saw you post in the Fridge thread.

This photo may be technically correct (black and white conversion is good) but it's not interesting, its busy and there is no point of focus.

Look at your image and pretend somebody else shot it.

Is this image interesting?
Does it hold your attention?
Is there something in the image that draws you into it?
