yikes...what is that?

Not my cup of tea. Thought it was not the most pleasing image, though your detail was quite good overall.

I find this kind of uninteresting.

would have been better if the whole photo was in focus, not just the chips..

Yeah, nice work.

good shot, the edge of the bowl in the foreground is quite distracting

Oh! what sort of food is the blue part?

I like the concept, but you need a bit more depth of field, and the lighting is a bit hard.

uninteresting photo and uninteresting colors. could have worked with saturation.

these colors are really perfect for this challenge. Who would have thought chips could look so pretty

i'm sorry but this is just visually unappealing at best ;(

quite hard to tell what it is, and the bowl is out of focus ...

Thats pretty cool. Some peeps may not know what that is, but it looks good to me.

it would be nice if everything was in focus
  Photographer found comment helpful.

lighting is quite harsh.

Very interesting shot. I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. DOF is good but I would suggest cropping a little more off the bottom.

I think that if you had not had the dip in the bowel, then you would have had an excellent picture here. The dullness of the dip takes away from the robustness of the chips. The chips and the bowel alone would have received a solid 10 from me. It does look tasty though. 7

The DOF made this feel unbalanced. Either it needed more chips or more queso, but probably less unfocused bowl rim.

good shot

4 - Not sure what this is, bordering on an unusual abstract, but isn't quite there in my opinion. An adjustment in the focal point(s), and perhaps lighting variation, make this better in my opinion. Colors are quite good, as is the composition. Different, but the creamy something captured in this way, detracts, in my opinion. Possibly blue corn chips and some type of salsa/dip, who knows, will check back PC.

Yummm. bowl and dip could have been a little less blurred. 7

Blue and yellow...
