Self portrait taken for a Canon photo comp, the portrait had to include bubblegum somewhere in the shot.

Since one of the primary qualities of bubblegum is color, I don't really feel this one as a b/w so much; it feels like it's missing something

I gotta agree with Snyd. Great picture, but it really doesn't convey that bubble gum. Perhaps if it was a stick of gum it would be more convincing.

Truth be known I really struggled to get the colour out of the gum when trying to be selective, so I just went with the black and white. Skills I still need to work on.

But now it just looks like an eraser or even a chunk of caramel. If the title didn't say "gum" in it I would have never known.
