The topic is "Food and/or Drink". Meaning just that... The subject can be related to food, drink or a combo of the two. This topic is so broad that there should be no problem getting creative with this one. For instance, I was driving down the freeway today and saw a car shaped like a giant hot-dog (in the bun!)...seriously. (People in the USA know it as the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile). Had I had any way to shoot a good shot, I would have absolutely entered that image as it was the most absurd thing I have ever seen in my life. Anyways... that should give you some sort of an idea on how broad this could be... an image related to "food or drink" could be FAR beyond a studio shot of carrots or a picture menu shot of a steaming hot dinner plate.

This is the first time I have posted anything like this, so if I dicked it up bigtime, let me know.

READ THE RULES

1. Only one picture per contestant.

2. No previously used material. All photos must be fresh and never displayed on any gallery / thread.

3. The winner of the last poll will set the next topic; if the same person stands as the winner two times in a row, he or she must choose another user to present the next topic.

4. Enhancements of the picture are allowed in terms of color management, curves, levels, crop, sharpening, etc... you know what this means. Adding or removing elements in the photo, brushed enhancements, or anything that diverts into photo manipulation territory will not be accepted.

5. No voting for your own picture. Duh.

6. The challenge starts this Thursday (July 19), the vote poll opens Tuesday (July 24) and closes Thursday (July 26). The winner starts a new post on the photo forum that is named "The Photo challenge - [chosen topic]".

7. The poll shall be opened Tuesday evening.

8. In the event of a tie in the polls, the person who created the challenge casts the tie breaking vote.

9. The winner has until 18:00/6:00 pm (GMT +2) Thursday, after he or she has won to present the next topic, if the winner fails to do so. The topic will be presented by the 2nd place person on the poll.

10. Please add a title to your picture.

Not at all, oh Northern Rabbit, the photo you present is the photo you take, not the photo that others didn't.

However, with your photo, I keep on feeling as though I'm spiralling anti-clockwise. Not the most comfortable feeling in the world, to be honest.
Though it's a nice touch that you have something round in the centre; it's mainly the cheddar and the shape of the jug that give it its movement, so that could easily be played about with, as well as the concept of having blocks in contrast with the curvy cheese-dish-thing.

Though my word is by no means gospel! Anything but.

@Demonic Rabbit: Thanks. I have another one I shot that I can post after the competition is over. I chose this one though b/c it was my favorite.

Wow,. the miniature kitchen actually looks life size.. you should put in a normal size object just to show us that it is in fact a miniature!

The watermelon one looks kind of sad.. i am not sure why.. :{

I've been so damn busy, but if I didn't put SOME sort of image in this challenge I would feel like a complete idiot.

So here's a photo of me looking like an idiot.

(And for the love of God, please don't vote for this) ;)
