Crabby: I like the repetition and off center sweet spot. I like the legs we can see in a few of the ladles. Yours? Awesome title as well.

Halima: Kudos for shooting in direct sunlight. Very easy to overexpose with the lb. Sweet spot is right on. The large building on the right behind the cafe weakens this shot for me. Perhaps a closer shot from a lower angle have made this a stronger photo.

Kmac - The B&W tones are sweet. Love the action and timing in this shot and size of the sweet spot is perfect.

Peter - I like the colors and the repetition in this shot. The blue person on the right is a little distracting from your sweet spot. The focus is interesting because it appears that your lb was centered but you focused off center creating the "bubble blurring". I may be wrong. I have had that effect happen when I use my 3g.

David - This competition is right up your alley. What a cheesy photo. Like the composition and the sweet spot is right on. I like the way your crop still allows the blurring to frame the photo.

And the Winner is:
David Morel

2nd place tie:
Kmac & Crabby

Thanks to all! Looking forward to your challenge David.
