 First thing I thought of when I saw B&W. Decided to got with peppercorns instead of ground pepper just for the size contrast. I know they are not truly black but, hey, these are the artistic concessions we have to make sometimes. Lit with reading lamp high to left to get granular detail in salt.

I quite liked this one and would have thought it'd score well into the 6s. Oh well, 61/256 is nothing to sneeze at either :) Congrats for the fine photography all the same. Cheers.

i would've liked to see more of each pile in focus, perhaps a different angle, change of DOF, or over lapping 2 pictures, 1 with salt in focus, and 1 pepper in focus? either way, good idea

Detail kept well in the shadows of the pepper without blowing hilites. Good job

I felt like breaking out my climbing gear when I saw this image. It has almost a surreal effect to it.

Nice idea - wish the peppercorns were more in focus though

This is as sharp as a tack. I can almost feel the salt and pepper.
