 Hmmmm I struggled a bit with this challenge. I had wanted to enter a picture of a firework exploding (I even had a title..."The Little Popcorn That Could") but I thought that it would have been hated, so instead I tried to take it back a step so I could actually show a piece of popcorn. In truth I should have probably shown an unpopped piece of corn but I liked it this way better

I have no idea quite how badly this is going to do, but make no mistake...It will do badly. Over 5 and I will be happy

Exploding popcorn and burning flowers... I think there may be a bit of a pyro lurking inside you. Good concept Jon.

lol this is so odd. I can't believe that no one commented on how well you balanced the popcorn. Interesting idea and good to see you tried something different from some other shots in the challenge!

Interesting perspective, and idea, but it doesn't really work all that well for me.... I think I would have found the image more appealing if we weren't looking up the rocket. But I'm not entirely sure.

Overall a good picture with an interesting concept, but the dream could become a nightmare based on the direction the rocket is pointng...

Love the positioning of the gun in the composition.

I like the perspective here. What is the popcorn dreaming about? Being blown up, or flying away? Makes me think, nicely done.

Too much of the fireworks and not enough of the popcorn.
