Isaac's entree -- assorted pasta shapes with cheese melted onto it. I wanted to get a shot with the cheese strands stretched out. Used the close-up lens to fill the frame with pasta from a few inches away.

This looks tasty. I kind of like how the grain gives this an old cookbook look, but it doesn't seem right to have the yellow speckles in the top right. 6

Looks incredibly delicous but not in focus enough for my taste (no pun intended).

Maybe just a little more light on the business end of the fork to "balance" the exposer a bit more even. Good shot.

Sorry but this doesn't look very appetizing to me. The photo is pretty grainy and dull. Better lighting might help.
