 Powdery Rubberbands that came in a 1/2lb bag. There were lots of colors, but I liked the pastel kind of colors. Shot with a camera with no features, by holding a magnifying glass in front of the lens to get optimal "closeness". Brightness, and contrast adjusted. ~Heather~

Heather, just wanted you to know I think this is a terrific picture. I like simple common things being the subject.

It seems a little bright to me, maybe up the saturation. Niten

The lighting looks a little harsh. Other than that I love the colours and the idea. Jacko

challenge -- met. what are these? look like rubber bands.
technical -- good focus. a couple of minor hotspots but they are not very distracting, so that's ok. i like that you chose the yellow background, it works well here.
composition -- there's too much chaos here for my personal liking. i would like for something (and i'm not sure how to do that with the subject matter) to be the main focus, rather than the whole photo.

Cool shot. I wonder if a little lower side light might not have brought out even more color. Good job. DPz

I like this. I'm thinking that maybe if you pumped up the saturation just a bit it would be outstanding.

Great colours, posivbly could have been imprioved if the background contrasted the yellow bands, or was neutral.. I use a grey card for this myself
