 I had a lot of ideas for this challenge, probably too many. From fruits, to lizards, to eyes. I found this cereal while cleaning out the cupboard, it was a tad stale but looked like it would like five minutes of fame so I set it up. The lighting was a 27w florescent reading lamp. I took about 20 shots, liked this one the best. I originally wanted to feature the upper left corner however the edge softness made viewing at 100% painful so I found another spot more centered.

I seriously need a remote shutter release for this thing. :)

Nothing extreme done to it, some brightening, sharpening, and shifted the hues a "bit" :)

I hope people like it more than my Negative entry :)

Oh and after the voting is over I will post some other macro ideas I had to my profile.

Thanks for the subject, I'm off for some breakfast! Glad it's not an eye or water drop!

A fun take on this challenge. I probably won't see another one like it. :)
