I had trouble wrapping my head around this challange using the 50 mm. I shot fruits, veggies, and even other pasta and didn't like any of them. With time running out I found the lasagna pasta in the cupboard and while rotating & flipping it around I thought of a knight's charge with a bend sinister.

If I had a little more time I would split a field of green and red as a mock Italian flag.

Nice clean lines and awesome contrast. Would've looked even cleaner if the yellow spots near the black tooth shaped edges where dodged but it depends on what look you where going for and this works just as well. Very much interested in how this image was created :)

looks like you overcontrasted to create solid fields of black, white and blue with just glinty hints of yellow on the borders. Well done. 7

Nice simplicity and I like how it is difficult to see the subject exactly yet it it identifiable.

Great idea and well composed. Simple colors and curves give a cool artistic photo. I expect this to do well. Bumping up.

Abstract as I perceive abstract? Yep, definitely.
Do I like it? I do like the basic simplicity - works well as an abstract
Technicals? The only thing that bothers me is the lack of depth/texture/detail on the black side of the ridges - would have liked to see the same shadowing you have on the blue side.

Very cool! Love the diagonal and the 2 colours in the background. Even the overexposure works.
