The first taste like Reese's and the second take like chocolate covered peanut butter.Yeah reeses pieces and PB M&Ms taste very different. I could do a blind taste test and nail it 10 out of 10.
I really hate hearing everybody without a professional level camera saying that...
You don't need an amazing camera to get good composition or a good photo in general. It just needs patients, time and the will to learn.
Go find some food in your house, and take a few photos, pick your favorite one, and enter it.
Worst case scenario: You don't win, but will possibly get some pointers or suggestions.
GO!
