| Regarding your notes above, I'm not sure I'm getting bored with seeing your face. When I see one of your selfies it's more like, "Nuts, now there are only two ribbons left to fight over!" Gave this one a 9. I think this is one of my faves of your entries because it appeals to my love of quirky shots. |

edit to say : you got f/22 on speedlites? Or was it speedlites? |
Thanks Debbi. Speedlites were indeed used on the lower left (bounced off an umbrella), on the tomato and the knife. Both upper right softbox and backlight are 400w studio flashes. |

Wow. Excellent shot, and well deserved 7.x! I'm surprised you got so many below-5's to be honest. It was a great idea, well executed, and in terms of the challenge... only the rolled up sleeve on your left arm is central. It's about as far from dnmc as my left hand!
I loved the bandages on your right hand. Very nice touch.
The only slight criticism I'd have with it was that when I looked at it your marriage ring was a little prominent. Ninjas woudln't be married I'd've thought :) |

So basically, you don't go to the gym. You just do 500 Tomato Slice Lunges. You, Sir, are a fixture on the front page, and for very good reason. Congrats on the tomato red.

Anywho, that rant out of the way, I think a blue next time is in correct order looking at this lineup :)

| Amazing! Thanks for telling us your lighting set up too. I never get bored with self-portraits -- because with self-portraits the subject is mastering the perfect vision of the photographer -- which as a photographer, I find it so hard to do when you're trying to get someone else to see it. This is perfection! |

Thanks for your comment Oliver! I do agree with you: usually I compose the shot from the challenge's topic, but this one was done the other way. It just popped in my head, and then I thought it could fit in this challenge, even if the off-centered elements tend to balance each other.
As for the juice on knife, or even spraying from the slices, I tried... and failed :) We need more expert editing challenges! ;-) |

Always creative and superb execution, if you will pardon the pun.
Only flaw, the tomatoe (you say tomato) should only have one slice through it :) The plastered fingers show 3 misses :) It would be difficult to throw it up in three pieces and keep them together as photographed.
But what do I know, I'm not Gordon Ramsay :) |

| Such a great shot. I might be wrong, but personally I perceive this is a centered composition since the ninja, knife and tomatoe is one object and perfectly centered. Still an 8 from me. |

I LOVE the wrapped fingers, but I fear that... this will be an anamoly for you, and won't ribbon... because to me there are two off-centered subjects... maybe three (face tomato knife).
And they all balance out too much for "off-centeredness".
But, I'm sure I'm wrong. I always love your work. |
