Challenge: Recipe (Food) (Classic Editing)
Camera: Kodak DC4800
Location: Florida

Mix together
3 1/2 cup unbleached flour,
2 cup whole wheat flour,
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup skim milk powder
1 tablespoon (or 1 package) dry yeast
3 1/2 cups lukewarm chicken or meat broth

Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm chicken or meat broth. A rich broth is recommended because it gives more flavor to the biscuit and also make them enjoyable to even the most finicky of tastes. Let yeast broth mixture set 10 min. Then stir in flour mixture. Roll resulting dough out 1/4" thick. Now, cut the biscuits from the dough, you can use any shape that you want, but most of us doggies like the traditional bone shape. Brush biscuits with egg wash. Bake on greased cookie sheets at 300° for 45 min. Then turn off oven and leave in overnight to finish hardening. This will make about 60 medium sized biscuits.

Gotta love this recipe -- at least my dogs will! I cook for my dogs a few times a week. I feed them cheap cuts of meat, rice or potatoes (or grains) and veggies -- all fresh -- and it is cheaper than buying dog food! My two dogs also eat a can of salmon (when on sale or mackerel) and a sweet potato when I am in a hurry. I can feed them for about $.25 -.75 cent a meal -- and they eat way better than most children. It's so simple... As a society we have been brainwashed to believe dog food is king...on the contrary if you read up on it. Great photo!!

They may be dog biscuits/cookies but they sure look good. The texture is great, the lighting great as I dont see any harsh shadows, the contrasting color tones appealing. I'm also glad you decided to do a close-up of these. I'm certainly interested in reading the recipe when the challenge is finished. Different and well shot, I like it!

Interesting shapes. Wish that there was more contrast. Different type of lighting would give some really nice shadows to the food. This would probably get a high score in the "fill the screen" type challenge.

My dog is drooling on my keyboard! :)

This is an excellent take on the challenge, very unique and managed to get the animal aspect in there, WTG! The shot is a bit busy, lines here and there and everywhere that the bones are going but the different tones of the bones are very nice and offer wonderful contrast. I think I would have liked to seen at least one full treat in the shot with the others all over. I started this one at a 6 but I'm going to an 8, different cropping or angle would have gotten you a 9 or 10

I'll be looking this recipe up when the challenge is over, my dog loves treats, and honestly - these look kind of appetizing to me too. I love the detail showing on the 'bones', the colors are a nice array of neutral tones, excellent texture. Great lighting. Focus is perfect. I don't see anything I would change. 10

Unexpected and very cool. I suppose it fits the 'prepared dish' criteria. Heck, I think I'd try those. Look yummy. Gets my 9 only because I think people food would have been more appropriate for this. It IS a 10 quality image, though.
