I find the background power plug a bit distracting.

I think a tighter crop and a bit sharper focus would have really made this shot. As it is, all teh extra "non-popcorned" space and the wall outlet are a bit distracting.

Would've preferred a tighter crop on the bottom, and a looser crop on the left. I find the outlet to be a distraction. Focus seems a little soft, but nice contrast.

My eye is immediately drawn to the outlet cover. This is a good shot, but moving your shot to get a better background would have helped quite a bit. Also being aware of what the reflection on the pot will do is very important. Still a very nice shot.

Nice foreground, but the background needs lots of work, especially with the outlet considering it's not used by the popper.

seems a little too soft?

Interesting idea, unfortunately it came up a bit short on the execution. I just don't get the sense that anything is really happening here. The outlet is a distraction. There's a yellow cast to the whole thing and the crop is too close to the end of the handle.

I think this is a great shot, the lighting and thought behind it. I don't however like the plug socket which is extremely distracting.

Very nice, but I find the outlet in the background a little distracting! Kind of weird reflections on the pot too.

Very nice! I especially enjoy the reflections on the side of the pan. It makes feel like sitting back and watching a movie!

It meets the challenge but other than that doesnt do much else. technically average.

Funny idea, but not too convincing with respect to the idea of a disaster happening in the kitchen. Colors seem to be slightly off and the crop is pretty tight on the left. (5)

Other than a color cast from the lighting, this is pretty decent. I like the overflowing kettle.

Really cool except for that plug-in on the wall.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/07/2007 10:05:28 AM
It's almost cropped a little too close to the pot handle.

This is a wonderful, homey image, full of popcorn and nice detail!
