WOW!

I guess I don't even have words for this placement....

Thank u all for voting!

Basically how the photo went was i dropped the bread tie on the floor and thought... hmmm that would be a cool entry for the challenge so I put the bread loaf down and shot it with my camera as is stood.

I am not going to twist it and stage the photo like requested that I should do. I basically like to take photo's that are as they are.
Thanks for all the comments and votes.

Yep, a twisty it is. I think the narrow DOF would work better without the extra negative space.

I like this minimalist approach. For such a stark shot, lighting and crispness are key. I'd have liked to see a clean white background for the shot rather than the murky pink. Great idea for this challenge.

I normally won't mention borders because I don't normally notice borders. The exception is when they overpower the picture, and in a way that's happening here. I do kinda like the shallow DOF on the poor lonely twisty. But that border really does bother me...

*not voting as I'm in this challenge-just commenting since I've seen requests for comments in the challenge thread*

I've seen a few of these in this challenge so far and although I like the concept I think it would have helped had you twisted it into some sort of shape. The placement in the frame is intersting and I like how you've matched your border to the twist tie.

Comment by keyz:
The shape is not very attractive so you should make efforts on lighting to enhance the subject.

thanks for the comments everyone.

It just popped into my head when thinking about the lighting challenge. I wasn't expecting to get a high rank. It was my first attempt at something like this and fun to open my mind to new things!!

The use of light is the purpose (hence "LIGHTING") I feel more people are failing to understand the actual PURPOSE of these challenges and actually taking the time to read and understand what the rules are. I feel this photo IDEA it self fails to fall short of the rules and using and capturing LIGHT in a CREATIVE way. Thanks Teafran for the comment but I think you fail to understand the challenge rules

Manufactured light in a dark setting - long exposure that isn't quite as crisp as one would expect. The overuse of dark space detracts from the laser image and the red frame creates some confusion in viewing. A good entry into the challenge, it falls just short of demonstrating the use of light for a purpose.

Maybe not the nicest photo technically, but certainly 100% to the topic. So good work!
