 I have had this idea in my mind for awhile using an egg. So, I thought I would try it out with pasta. Lighting was a large softbox to the left and a large silver reflector to the right. This is my daughter and her used shoes. We have new ballet slippers...but the old one's I thought had more character.

Be interesting to see how this does. The pasta is not exactly the main subject...I think the foot has a bit more weight in this image.

Fabulous idea, the human portion looks great, but wish there was a bit more light on the pasta, maybe a little from both sides to emphasize the challenge. 7

the idea is good, probably with only one leg is a bit unbalanced(even if the composition is in the middle) perhaps with two legs should be better. a good photo 8.

Cute photo and idea, maybe crop out the glass part that is holding the pasta?
