good idea. there is a lot of interesting texture to explore here, and I wish that you hadn't used such a shallow dof. compositionally, i would push the pea to the left so that there wasn't so much dead space on that side. - 6
In terms of the challenge, I can relate to this entirely. I do, though, wish that it was in much sharper focus - the problem is that you have selected such a narrow depth of field that the bean cannot be in focus at the same time as the shoot; whilst shallow dof is usually good in macro photography, in this case it is just too shallow.
