I love this! i did a similar shot for a challenge last year and never entered it..but yours is much nicer. :) I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this would look cool.
I think this is a great shot, but it's more about the nice effect you made with the yin yang than about the photo itself. It seems to me I'm looking more at the art and going "nice art" than thinking "nice photo". Hence only a 6.
one of the best salt/pepper combinations in this challenge, the colors seem to be undercontrasted; i would have loved to see a brighter white salt, but i suppose if you would have done that the peper would have been unpleasently contrasted, i wasn't too fond of your border either....good job
Very creative (and time consuming to set up) Excellent idea well executed. Minor nit: would have liked to see a bit more of the edge on the center right. That said - well done
Nicely done but lighting is a little low - the peppercorns really fade into the background. Either a little more lighting to bring those out or perhaps a different colour background.
Very interesting application of the challenge theme. You've managed to combine two different subjects. One weakness hits me, though - it's underexposed. More lightness would help to whiten the salt, bring out the details in the pepper and give the whole shot a bigger wow feeling. 7
