    My stomach is growling just looking at this..I'd replace Still Life, which is awesome, but this one fits the story better.

    Rob, I vote to Keep them all! Fantastic Capture! But if I had to pick one to be replaced by this awesome photo I would agree with Karen, for the same reason, and replace Still Life. And Still Life could become the first photo in your "Still Life" Photo Essay :)

    LOL!! You are both "politicians"! Running for office in your home states? Hey, I like them all too, but I'm pleased to remove ANY of them from that essay!! Like your logic, though! ...Smart-- shows good thinking by both of you!! It can be even simpler, like: "Take the cotton candy out-- I don't like the stuff", or "Don't put the lobster in... I hate lobster!".

    Rob, as much as I love lobstah, I agree with Karen & Joe to replace it with your simplistic but outstanding still life. Less is more !!!
