I shot some rice on a slab of rock I have in my office. I like the texture and the colors as well as the selective focus. I had a hard time choosing one out of three other candidates. I actually had to consult with a friend. I think this one shows well. But then, based on my latest few entries...I'm sure someone will sack it.

- crop
- contrast
- color adjust (bumped up the orange)

How did you get them to glow? Nice shot, but abundance of dark and blurry fore is hard to explain.

Nicely done. I keep wondering if this would look more dramatic in b/w.
