I feel so lame! I actually thought of this idea BEFORE I looked at the previous "superstitions" challenge and saw that about half the photos were of spilled salt. Oh well, I was running out of time and realy wanted to submit a photo. Hopefully, if not an original idea, at least I executed it okay.
The salt is spilled (I actually spilled it, albeit on purpose) on a black granite countertop. There are some small crystals in the granite brought out by the flash, and this makes the picture look a little noisy (though t isn't "noise).

I like the contrast of the salt and surface. And not to forget the title
IMO I think you should try with the pic again with a slightly different angle to make the subject even more interesting..:)
A better effort than some of the similar ones in the contest. I think the grains are a little over-sharpened, but I do like it. I like the glint on the silver top.
I'm not sure if the light coming off of the cap is benificial or distracting. its a little of both oddly. i like the composition though. it looks a bit cloudy overall. mayeb needs more contrast.
Excellent contrast of the salt against the black surface. :) However, I think the metal top to the salt container is a little distracting - being that it's a little hard to make out due to reflecting the black but the eye is still drawn to the specular highlight reflecting off of it. If I had to come up with any suggestions for this very well done shot, it would have been to zoom in much closer to the mouth of the salt shaker so we can see the salt grains in greater detail.
