Original – A pile of commercial Chex Mix, a snack mix of Chex cereal and various other snack foods
Reason
First thing I thought when I saw this: I'm hungry. Effective, well taken, well composed... and, surprisingly, with a Canon PowerShot! Wish mine could have done something like this.

  • My first thought on viewing this image was "I wish this had been taken with a D800". It's acceptable as it stands, but I've always been of the opinion that a photo of a readily available subject should be nothing short of memorizing for its resolution and detail. Waiting for some more thoughts before I commit to a vote. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:09, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I just don't like the flat presentation of this pile of interesting shaped items. This snack mix could be far better presented in the way it is on the non-free image File:Chex-Mix-Trad-Bag-Small.jpg or even the free image of the same subject File:Chex Mix.jpg.

    • I'd consider something like what's on the bag to have considerably less EV than what we've got here, as it wastes space. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:18, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
