 Looking to think out-of-the-box when this idea came to me. There are metal chopsticks available, but I have so many others already, I could not justify their purchase at this time. Aluminum paint helped here.

The title, literally translated is: Chopsticks Metal

Entry in DPC Olympics 2008, week 2 for Team Germany.

Raw, adjust EV & WB in Nikon Editor, imported into PS(6) & crop. Curves in LAB to correct colors & lighting, adjust blacks in CMYK, then to RGB for saturation & contrast USM.
Repeated the whole process over to leave enough crop to add border (Doh!)
Resize for web, sharpen, submit.

Looks yummy, too bad there isn't more detail in the rice, it looks a little bland.
