The Results of Gun Fire That Sounded Like Popcorn

I am sure you are prepared for the does not meet crowd, but that is not the purpose of my vote or comment. For me the image could be better with a couple of things. First the flag in the bottom left is big time distraction. Additionally, it seems to have messed a bit with focus. Move right or get above it and that will dramatically improve this shot.

Too Much Popcorn

A different take. :) A good shot. There are a couple of spots where the popcorn doesn't fully cover and that immediately grabs my eye. Also there are some OOF issues on our fun plump little friend as well. Still a nice shot and I like the thought!

Well, I am sure you will see some of the Does not meet comments, but thats not what I am here to do. The shot is a good one. The light being where it is doesn't help with the near side details that could have made the shot even better. Still nice shot and good luck with the does not meet comments.

Get Your Own Bowl!!!

I like the shot and I understand the B&W to get rid of the doggy eye green. The flash also washed the popcorn out a bit lessening the details on all the corn. I would say going with a vertical crop might have been a big help here and it also would have taken the desk or table leg and the cords out of the shot which are also a bit distracting. Still like the shot and the fun of the dog with its own bowl though!

I like it. I think cropping it in closer to the pan would have helped the shot. The upper right distracts from the shot quite a bit. A very cool thought and I like it quite a bit.

Getting Ready To Pop Open

Well, I am sure this is going to get dinged for meeting challenge, but I would rather give my thoughts on the shot. It is a very good shot. I think that a little lower POV might have given you less shadow on the second flower and would have helped with some of the focus issues on the lower half of the bottom flower.

Aussie Popcorn

NICE. Not even from Aussie land and I like this one. Nice shot and a very nice job of getting the shot without getting a ton of reflection off the wood from your lighting.

Getting Ready For A Movie

For me choosing to focus on the first two corn pops there means the entire rest of the shot is OOF. An interesting choice. It doesn't work for me because the vast entirety of the shot is OOF, but I like the bold choice to go that way.

The Circle of Life: Popcorn Style

A little washed out for my taste as you lose some of the popcorn with such a white background. Black or a different color would have helped immensely. But great thought and creativity.

Nice solid shot. I am sure some people will ding it for lack of wow, but not this voter. Just a very well executed shot.
