So, I had this fantastically wonderfully creative idea, but waited until Tuesday to even start. blech.
Lots of stuff, done the hard way with basic editing (which I generally prefer, oddly enough). Played with the colors a bit, noise reduction, contrast, clarify.
resized, hit "despeckle" and got rid of the shiny crystal things from the sugar.
Mounds of sugar in front of a piece of purple construction paper, side-lit with a flashlight, with a second flashlight shining on the left side of the paper.
i figure this will be yet another sub-5 entry. :/ but, i kinda like it, so

Very creative idea and nicely executed. I am still wondering whether this is brown sugar or a very artfully placed blanket, but what ever it is it works well. I love the subtlty of the curves that you have greated and the 'by moonlight' adds another level. Beautiful textures. Bumped to 9
I like the textures and lighting. I feel like this is lunar type landscape and I keep expecting to see a lunar module or space man pop up behind the ridge.
