Mundane Challenge 11: Toothpick(s)

March 2nd, 2013
As the first loser (second place--haha!) of the mundane-cardboard challenge, it is my honor to host this week's mundane challenge!

The mundane theme was started by Aaron @grizzlyghost, for those of us who may have lost inspiration. He suggested we take an ordinary, boring object and start shooting it. Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!

This week's mundane star is ..... the toothpick. Or many toothpicks. Your "pick." (I'm on a roll today!!!)

The only rule: there can be no question that the toothpick is the star of your photo!

Tag your shots mundane-toothpick and don't forget to share your entries on this thread! You have until Sunday the 10th to enter.

On Monday, March 11th, I'll choose my top five for your voting pleasure, and the winner gets the honor of hosting Mundane Challenge #12.

@northy Haha! Nothing big. @automaticslim had hosted the challenge before, and since I lost by one vote, he asked if I wanted to host this week.

will give it a go - provided that there is a packet in the cupboard!!

Love to give this a try. I haven't participated in any themes or competitions yet. Is it open to anyone?
March 3rd, 2013
@dtigani Yes! It's open to everyone!

Here's my shot for the mundane-toothpick challenge.
I threw a few party pick into the shot for color. I guess my OCD kicked in, I placed the party pick by color.
I rarely do these challenges because the others always do such amazing shots. What the heck here's mine.

Tried a few variations, but this one probably worked the best.

@masosy @shelldunn @danielwsc I played around last night, thinking I'd stack them a bit. They all fell twice after about 3 layers and I gave up. Respect to all of you!!!!

This is just for fun – I do not do competitions, but I do sometimes take inspiration from the competition themes and word lists. Best viewed small!

Who on earth knew you could do so much with a toothpick?! I've been casually browsing shots this morning and these are all freaking awesome.
