LOL......looking over the comments here and it seems that had you cleaned the fingernails, you'd have had a winner! *grin* Interesting how voters will completely dislike a shot because of one detail! LOL

Nice details on the hand -- this should be an illustration on how to use chopsticks. :)

I like the shallow dof here, but your model really needs to wash their hands (especially under those nails) before eating!

You gotta clean those nails!

interesting idea
10/20/2007 11:29:04 AM
Like the perspective on this one..
10/20/2007 09:05:04 AM
....eh.

One of the tops of the challenge. Nicely done.

I like the image. The white rice does seem to draw my eye to the dirty fingernails though. Still like the image and will score it well, but something to note.
10/18/2007 04:32:18 PM
Too many chopsticks and knitting needles.. sorry...
10/18/2007 09:46:39 AM
The reflections in the bowl are distracting

This is another well executed (of the boring chopsticks) I love your composition, nice to see the pencilsstick in action... the only thing spoiling for me is the blue-ish colour on the plate from a tv perhaps? Actually it adds character to the pic lol
10/18/2007 02:43:06 AM
Heh, looks like a lot of people got the same idea. This one is the best shot I've seen so far, though. The color is great!
10/17/2007 09:40:52 PM
Not bad...I almost did the same thing.
10/17/2007 05:49:01 PM
Aside from the rice being a bit blown out, I like the composition and black background.
10/17/2007 10:46:33 AM
omg!!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself. This is one of the better chopstick images in this chopstick-laden challenge! I love the lighting, composition, colors and the wonderful detail and DOF, but dang it...I'm hung-up on those dirty nails. Reminds me of mine after I do my yardwork everyday. Still...it's a great image! 8

nice focus, and compo, the rice is a bit hot
10/17/2007 07:07:18 AM
Big haul
10/17/2007 12:31:51 AM
Nice idea. Just that the DOF could have been wider.
10/16/2007 11:43:02 PM
Great detail on the fingers and dirty fingernails. Great idea.
10/16/2007 10:22:08 PM
ew, dirty fingernails :p
