 What could be healthier than a bowl of granola, fresh berries, and organic milk in the morning?

Hope this does well. It would be poetic justice if it were to score above a 6.3509 and knock my Fast Food entry off my front page!

Shot this Saturday morning before breakfast, next to a window, natural light and some reflectors on the opposite side. Forgot to check the ISO which is why this was shot at 800, and a little noisy as a result. Neat Image helped a bit. I have some other shots with the milk jug in focus too, but that competes too much for attention with the granola leaving two focal points in the image. After taking a bunch of shots, I think this one has the right amount of blur on the milk, just enough to make it not distracting, but not so much that you can't tell what it is.

Almost entered this alternate take shot with my lensbaby, but pulled that at the last minute to enter this one instead.

organic, lowfat, fruit - all kinds of healthy going on here, I like the white background, it helps bring out the fruit

Seems very overexposed. Maybe your monitor was off (or mine :/)

Great shot, but needs some more saturation/contrast. Still, worth a 6.

think it would've been nicer if you turned the milk jug around.

Really loving the picture just seems a little bit bright but apart from that really good angle too and really good focus.

good composition and DOF; the label on the milk can is quite distracting; overall lacking of contrast.
