My Alphabet Challenge

Well I've started my challenge of getting randoms words for each letter of the alphabet and taking a photo of something in relation to the word. Heres the list of words i have so far and as you can see I'm still missing a few at the bottom so if you can think of any imaginative words for the let few please let me know them.

But 1st up was Asparagus which was provided by the missus! So here you go not much you can do with Asparagus so thought i would keep it simple with some still life which isn't actually that simple and needs a lot of patience.

Ive ended up with 2 and can't decide which i like better, your thought please?

Personally I prefer the second image as it shows more detail. I also like the Idea 0f the alphabet challange.

Nice idea for a challenge, Simon. I like both of these but prefer the first. It's very simple and you've got the lighting just right (I like the little shadows).

I think i can see what you were trying for Simon, but it's not for me I'm afraid.
The cut off at the top draws my eye imediately, and for me, tryptics need to be seperated by space or border.
The bacon butties do look tempting! No butter on the bread for me though!
