Take a lot of pepping up to score well, but if you have kitchen scissors, a garlic press, a cutting board and some garlic you got the essentials :-)

**************************
I don't know if I "pepped it up" any better (though I added some ginger and onion), and odds are it won't score better than Robert's, but I was unable to get back to the location to shoot my own first entry within the time constraints. :-(

| An improvement on the original composition, although the lack of DOF on the garlic is perhaps distrating |

| Bear_Music's first entry, the tighter framing makes this more engaging than the original |

| Interesting subject matter... the lighting could have been much better. The luxury of still life is that you get to control everything. |
