I have to ask, is this a color or black and white photo? Lol.

IMHO it's a W/B picture, a beautifuly composed B/W picture !

It is a black and white. However there wasn't much of a change from the color one. Thanks for the great comments.

kool... and nice idea... !

I alway said - don't put your apples all in one basket

In addition to great focus, lighting and composition, This image is just plain appealing. Well done.

What spices are they?

ummmm... chipotle, oregeno and turmeric? (nice shot)

Yes, you are right kyricom.

I like that, good idea

What a great way to show off all the shells! The white reflection line in the center at the bottom is a bit distracting. Is it a seam in the glass?

Sadly there are no seams. Ambient light on a round surface. I've uploaded another with some toning added, but no line.

Vry gud
