already setting up my shot one of two in mind but I have a big shoot coming up, corporate 27 head shots.

I'm just going to upset some one here I know, but this is the worst artistic competition I've seen on this site with the exception of two or three shots.

when i first read the competition rule I thought it would bring the best of use to the table
come on you have a chance to have you images printed in a magazine

Inspiration just look in your cupboard at the packaging that made you chose that item.

look at your cook books, illustration image that sold you that recipe that made you spend hours making the dish. the produce on the market the herds drying on some Indian market/shop shelves. I know we can do better
