Great color here!

Beautiful color!

beautiful shot

Great! The crop really makes this photo! Thank you for the original photo in the SBS.

I really like the colors, and I especially like how the focusing on the drops blurs the background and makes it look like a painting. When I first saw this, I really thought it was a painting!

Great idea

nice flow of work author.

What a creative shot! very nice work here

I like like carousel's rebuttal

I would have liked a little more DOF

I think there is difference between 'you can not eat the object' and 'the object can not be edible'. The first phrase - what was used in the contest description - allows to use food as an object, but the second photo can not be the result of preparing or starting to eat the food. For example, an egg+omelet would be definitely off theme. The author simply dropped the egg to the ground and it was smashed. And yes, you can obviously eat an egg, but not the egg what was used as object in this case. I don't think the author licked up the smashed egg from the ground.

No, sorry... "as stated" - "you can not eat the object." That phrase changed a lot of potential entries. Absolutely none of the other ones have anything edible. You can obviously eat an egg. Sorry, author, this one shouldn't be allowed either

Oh Nooooooooooo....not the egg. nice job Hi Res looks great.

spot on Author

As suggester of this theme: IMHO this entry is on theme, the purpose of mentioning the food was that it didn't got eaten (as stated), disallowing using food however was never my intention AND was not stated in the description.

Very nice

I'm with friiskiwi... I was going to do this shot, but didn't because you can obviously eat eggs. Nice shot, though

I think this one fits, because the goal says: 'One exception: you can not eat the object'. In this context, it means: it is not allowed to eat the object.

Nice and it does give me some ideas. Time to visit the grand children.

I thought exactly the same 'transformers' when I first was the image..

Lovely portrait

I think he is saying " Don't f%#k with me".

Beautiful animal - nice shot

Beautiful shot!

great work author with super cool details...GL

I had thought of this too, but there was something about nothing you can eat? and I guess you can still scrape it up and eat it?

I could see this being a series of drawings. Nice job!

A unique creation you have here author. Very nice. GL!

Wonderful photo! Beautiful!

I would consider cropping the bottom, very nice photo!

What a cutie! Nice catch!
