Photo Homework: Project M

I need to learn my camera.
This week, I did a scary thing.
I turned the dial to the unchartered territory of {M}.

Yep, manual mode.  I hope to post a photo at least once a week that was shot in Manual.
There's no retouching allowed, aside from the watermark.

Behold...
PIZZA!
