Fixed-Lens Photo Challenge #342: Subject: Rolls

Show us a picture of your interpretation of Rolls! Down the road? In the oven? Turning over? As always great composition and great exposure will carry the day.

Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host and judge a new challenge.

To submit, put your photo title in the first line of the post, followed by your photo, and click "Post comment." Your camera brand and model must appear in the post. Include additional EXIF data, if you like.

Enter just one photo.

Post until Monday noon GMT, 14 July 2025. Note: extended an extra week due USA weekend 4th of July holiday.

Rules:
Camera: Any fixed-lens camera, all brands and models. Cell phones are also included. No DSLRs!
The image may be digital or scanned film as long as the original shot was taken with a fixed lens.
Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible except photos that have won other POTN competitions.
Size: Photo must be no less than 800 pixels and no more than 1600 pixels on the longest side, with no borders.
Postprocessing: Do whatever you like and the host will decide if it fits the theme.
Photo display: Photos must appear in this thread to be eligible.
Title your photo.
No commenting and no likes until the challenge has ended.
People may also post photos after the winners are announced.

Voting: Once the challenge is closed on Monday noon anyone may cast their votes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. People who didn't enter a photograph are also allowed to vote. 1st Place = 3 points, 2nd Place = 2 points, and 3rd Place = 1 point.
Note: The host of the challenge may also enter a photo and is encouraged to do so. Should the host win, the runner up will host the next challenge, so as to avoid the same person hosting in two consecutive weeks.

Hosting:
1. The challenge host is the winner of the last challenge.
2. Once your win is announced, copy the sticky and start a thread in the Competitions forum with this title: Fixed-Lens Challenge #XXX: Subject
4. Soon after noon GMT on the next Tuesday, post the sum of the votes for first, second, and third place. No ties, please.
5. If the winner can't be contacted and doesn't respond by Wednesday noon GMT, the second-place winner will host the challenge. If both are unavailable, the third-place winner will host.

Congratulations to Trumper and the runners up. Well done! And well done to all who entered I was delighted by the varied approaches to the challenge!

The next challenge is yours Gary! Take it away and challenge us to deliver!
 
I loved Trumper's rolls of hay, and also the more 'normal' rolls that we eat. But all the photos were great. My photo was taken a long time ago (1965) and the color isn't quite right on it - either the slide wasn't scanned properly or the original didn't have the correct exposure (or both) so I didn't expect anyone to vote for it but I thought it was an 'out of the box' choice for fun. I had a photo of my daughter rolling down the Sand Dunes in Colorado, but it was also a problematic photo.
 
Oooooh Thank you , in Yorkshire they seem to have round bales of straw /hay whereas down our way we have rectangular bales still , not sure why the difference .New challenge up in a minute :)
