Again, another creative, yet simple show of symmetry. Cool lighting, I'd be interested to know how you set everything up...good luck!

You may have received DNMC's but your entry fits the spirit and 1st looser definition of the word symmetry perfectly.

Honestly, I am not sure what this is, and the patterns on the subject don't really convey "straight" to me... it's more of a diamond pattern.

Hmmm - a salt shaker? Not sure what the light source is. Also not entirely sure how it fits the straight bit but I'll go with the fact the facets on the shaker are straight lines. Will add that as a standalone photograph its a bit plain.

Comes off a little flat and grayish. I think a levels or curves adjustment is all it really needs.

HI from the C Club

you asked for an in depth comment on your shot for this challenge.

Very clever idea!!!

Your idea is an excellent one, just needs a little tweaking. The challenge description reads that it is for an appliance, granted you have the appliance in your shot, but without reading you title it would be hard to know that that was your main subject. This could have been avoided with a little more light on the subject. I know that you wanted the 'milk' to stand out, so some back lighting of the microwave would have worked here.

Your photo is also tilted, so combining that with the darkness almost makes it looks like it is floating. In post processing maybe playing with the exposure and a bit with the curves may have brought out a little more of the microwave. Your 'milk' is very sharp and the lines are crisp and clean

Excellent idea and shot though
