 I don't expect this to do well at all.
It rained all weekend -- I went out to the beach to take some photos. Got completely wet, and when I uploaded the photos to the computer, I didn't like any of them.
As such, I turned to the only thing that I could find.
A tomato and a spoon.
The only willing participants at 11pm, the night before the challenge closes.
I don't particularly like the shot, but I need to push myself to enter challenges, else I'll become lazy again.

The shot: Against a white sheet, fluorescent light on top, and an SB600 off to the side, triggered wireless from my d300s.
The edit: Not much. Contrast and blur to smooth the background. Crop. Resize. USM.
The prediction: I'll optimistically predict a 5.5.

I really like the tomato and the negative space, but the OOF spoon is bugging me as it keeps drawing my eye.
