 These are dried turmeric roots that were used as both medecine and tincture for textiles. I use them in food - they are what gives curries their yellow color. They will stain whatever touches them, including my hands after the shoot.

I think this is a great idea, though the eyes/face being out of focus unsettle me a little :)

Interesting concept, but I feel more DOF would benefit the hands and roots. Great composition, nice colors.
