This is my first real studio setup shot. I used rice that was only cooked for about 2/3 of the time it should have been to bring out detail and define the rice's edges.
Brightness was changed to help out the oaktag paper background.
Minor cloning to remove some scratches that had been inflicted on the paper.

Nice image - good everything, technically. For me, low tech represents technology that has been replaced and obsoleted - chopsticks are old, but still very much in use. Hope this is helpful.
I really enjoyed this. I love food photography and your choice of white rice here is perfect, as it tends to be less interesting that the chopsticks, which is the subject of the photo. There is a little noise in the image that doesn't really add anything for me. The composition is truly great, though. 9
Very nice and simple idea; perhaps some nice black fancy ones would have been a better contrast here. These look like the cheap wooden ones and don't even really look like they are oriented right--though I think what I am seeing is the "break-away" area where they are attached together.
Most ancient and certainly low tech. Once you place them inside the bowl the viewer wants to see each grain. However, I ask too much. A good composition. 7
as comparing to what? fork and knife? chopstick can't go high tech. I'll give you credit for clarity and good composition. if you are saying "Chopsticks" are "low tech", this photo in this catagory is offensive to Asian culture.
