Oh oh oh but I love shallow DOF and I really like how you've got such a tiny point of focus here. It really, really makes the tip of the chopstick into a focal point from which I slowly explore the rest of the image. The softness throughout is very calming as are the colours and shapes.
?? I think the single grain is missing and would have contributed well to a minimum of 3 points higher from me, but the plain brown against brown does not hold my eye enough to stop from wandering back to what's in the bowl and (low DOF) out of focus.
i like the photo but it says single grain and i dont see a grain like it would be better if like on the focus part of the chopstick if there was a grain of rice.
Unique photo. I'm sure you're going to get many similar comments, so I'll add one: The focus on the end of the chopstick is odd.
Is the subject a single grain of rice? Then in my mind, the focus should be on the rice, or there should at least be a single grain of rice on the end of the chopstick. Hey, that would be pretty cool actually. :)
At first, I was not sure how I felt about this image, but as I stared at it for a little while, it grew on me. I like the lines of the image. Something about it is very peaceful. Well done.
I like the composition, color, and overall feel of this. The title and the focus on the tip of the chopstick makes me think that there ought to be a single grain at the end of the chopstick.
