I'm still hoping to find the technique to get this type of image right. I think the DOF needs some work.

I really like the texture that this photograph is presenting. However I find the striking sharp colors in the back right hand corner to be slightly distracting. Maybe it would have done well in black and white. I love the title though! NICE WORK!

Close encounter with what?

Boring, there is just to many of these pictures in the challenge, and nothing to set it apart from all the others.

DOF a little too short to do this image justice. POV is awkward. Honestly not sure what I am looking at.

After Challenge:
Okay people, let̢۪s get one thing straight. That square-ish thing next to the shoes? It̢۪s NOT a bran muffin, brownie, muffin, or any type of food. Frankly I have no clue WHAT that is. (It was just on the table when I took this picture, and I thought, what the heck.) I know I kind of risked a lot using this picture, and I definitely know I went a little overboard with the wild colors. (I got all saturization happy) Apparently not the best picture I couldve taken, and not the best picture I̢۪ve editted (so far). Hopefully I'll do better in the next competition. And I'll be sure to remember not to have a confusing title or objects in my photo that look like random bits of bran muffins.

(Thanks to those who pointed that out, I never would've noticed)

Not sure what it's all about but visually it works for me. Scratch on floor is distracting but colors are vibrant , lighting is good.
