 A hand goes into a paper bag, as it craves to do, curving into a shared vortex with advertising messages. It all happens so fast.

It certainly does happen all too fast - I thought this was a great idea for the challenge and shot in a nice moody, noir kind of way. Had given it a 7.

Ahh, Don, Don, Don. I should've guessed this was Noble Leader's effort! Now that I read your Photographer's Comments I get it.

For a minute there I thought it was a big tongue slipping out to lick the face of an unsuspecting couch surfer.

Interesting take on the challenge, but I can not see what you are advertising...

Love the skin tone, this one made me think. I get the connection to the challenge, but I am guessing some voters may not...

This has a certain artistic appeal, but it doesn't really fit the challenge description.

Hmmmm.....love chips, but not sure that it portrays it well??? Color may have helped that in this case and showing perhaps, a bit more of the chip bag???

nice low key image. may be it would be stronger related to the topic is you showed me some hints of food in the bag? :)

I'm not sure what it is, but it looks like either a shoulder, elbow or knee, none of which is mouth watering. I also don't understand the title. Sorry, I just can't rate this high.

ummm...sorry, I think you're in the wrong challenge

I dont get it
  Photographer found comment helpful.

At first galnce, I thought it was someone's knee - then I read your title. Too bad we can't get a glimpse of what that hand is reaching for. For me personally, I find food shots much more appealing in color than black & white.

Optical illusion!

On the one hand, you succeeded in stopping me long enough to figure out it's a wrist. On the other hand, I have no idea what I'm looking at beyond that. I have a feeling this is one I'd appreciate more if I were able to read your comments.
