I still like #1, but #2 is now my favorite. I really like the angle you've decided to shoot from, beautiful DOF.

My 2nd choice would be #3

That is my favorite too! I don't think anyone would guess what it is. Where as the cheese grater is something everyone can identify close up. I used all my macro rings stacked on this one...so its super close and that lil speck in the middle is huge compared to what it is for reals.

So #1 or #4?
Have you thought about a real close up crop/shot of just one of the cheese grater eruptions?, perhaps from a shallow angle with a red/orange light shining thru, kinda like a metal volcano?

I like #1, but personally find the OOF white area a little distracting. All just my humble opinion FWIW

Yeah, I figured as much....just wanted to be clear, because I have found that what appeals to me seems to often differ from the majority of what others find appealing

1. Its a WTH is that theme so no matter what I do with the grater....they are too reconizable thus giving an answer to it.
2. number one entry has issues that I tried to resolve with some reshoots today and was unsuccessful at fixing what I think is flaws in the image.
3. number four is flawless in my perspective and I highly doubt that anyone could guess what it is...thus meeting the theme. I know its a gamble with the judges..but it always is!
I will let everyone know what it is after the challenge gets to voting round. Unless of coarse someone guesses it! I don't mind playing the game "Guess it"!
Thank you all for your comments of my images, I really do appreciate it. I know I am going a different direction than what most would have liked but I got to go with my heart on this one.
I'm with ya girl!

I haven't read the other's comments, but i think I like #3 more of the whole set.
However, as a non expert, I would like to see a more uniform DOF on it...

I will say that it involved a flash directly under the object to get this color. Only filter between the flash and the object was a white polyurathane cutting board.
Darn!
Upon closer examination I think I see small bubbles in the middle. Is it a viscous liquid like Jello or hair gel or something like that? This thing is killing me!! I assure you I have spent more time than anyone looking at this photo trying to figure our WTH it is! No matter how you finish in the competition, you certainly fulfilled the theme!! Good job.
