I'm sure you'll get comments like "the beans are too shiny" ;-) but I really like this shot. I start at the top of the sprout and my eye travels down the roots. I like the contrast of the green and brown too. 8

Great minds think alike? This was the very picture I had in mind to do, but I was away traveling all week and simply didn't have time. Only I wanted to use the more distinctly "Anasazi" beans. Traditional pintos were my second choice. The detail and texture of individual beans is great. no distracting shadows, and even the background is pretty clear. I might have cropped a bit differently to get the sprout a little lower, but I don't know what you had to work with in the original. I don't claim to be an expert, but I like this lots and don't think I could have done better, probably not even as well. This would be a good advertisement for a seed company.

Great Idea. Very nice composition. I like the background, its not busy, so it grabs your eyes to the focal point of the photo.
