> [@Logi](#): > > I guess I need more yoyos to match! Lol, all mine were sorta off. Artistic wise, what did you think of this one? From an artistic view, yours would have been in the running with Sloppybinds’ food yo-yo. This being a “color match” and the marshmallow not in focus was the issue. When I referenced your entry without the fire where the throw was sitting with the marshmallows…the color was not close enough. The marshmallows looking more white and the throw looking more silverish, light greyish. So, even when I tried to apply what I knew about the true marshmallow color to the yo-yo by the campfire, I knew the match was not close enough. So, great photo, just not what this one called for. I believe you had a few others I thought were closer…I forget which ones now. But, they were closer to a “match.” ---

> [@J\_Singh\_2K](#): > > What did you think of my 3? Your three were nice, but just a matter of whether the colors on the yo-yo really matched the colors on the food closely. If there were a few colors on the food not on the yo-yo, it wasn’t a close enough match. Also, you covered the yo-yo with the food on a few of them. Side by side, or something to make them both equally visible would have been better. Minor lighting issues…but overall, clear enough still. Good taste in snacks too. :wink: ---

@Logi…the peppers were nice, but not close enough shade of green. I liked the pretzels more actually…was diggin on those more. @BC…you had a lot of close ones. Your first one was great and you had a few that I would consider a great match…but I had to line up all the greats and see which one stood out. The peaches were tough. They sort of looked like you should eat them really soon, kinda wrinkled a bit. 😃 At first, I thought they were “Munchkins.” Not sure if you have Dunkin Donuts where you are, but they looked like those little round glazed donuts. I was not sure what they were at first. I think the pic was taken in the fridge or something too…lighting issue, and stuff around it. ---

Yup…the Canon Powershot. You know what they say, great minds… :wink: I was impressed that there was a bed of oranges, because that meant someone was walking around on the go, looking at food, with yo-yos readily available. Talk about working for a prize. 😃 I didn’t factor that in the judging, but had to figure that unless you have a bed of oranges at home, and the other stuff you posted too, that you were out and about getting photos. I took a photo of that red delicious apple. I was in the store picking out what I thought was the perfect shade, without the yo-yo with me. People were looking at me waiting for me to pick one so they could get in there too. They had to wait though haha. It’s not easy trying to color match something natural, with something that is not. Also, you had a few really close ones. The one with the 888 is great…pretty close. But, that one was also in the running. I’ll send tracking tomorrow…good stuff. ---

It’s close, but not exact. I’m glad you like it, that is a very “different” looking yo-yo too. Thanks for being so positive and encouraging in here. > > I’m glad you guys had fun, there will be another one soon. Thank you for the generous comments, TotalArtist! Truly the joy of this contest for me initially was just getting creative and I didn’t join in with the expectation of winning. Sure it would have been nice, but I had so much fun making the cucumber/carrot yoyo! Then, the real joy came from my kids as my oldest daughter got up early and first thing she did was ask me if I won. 😃 When I said I didn’t know yet and wasn’t sure I’d win, she told me that she thought I won, and my youngest gave me a big hug when I told her I didn’t win. That right there is better than any yoyo to me! So yeah, I still won. ;D ---

The apricots were awesome, and the color was spot on too. It was one of those that was a perfect match. Better lighting would have made it a better overall photo, but I could still see that the colors matched. I just had to compare all the great ones and choose only one.
