A bunch of salt, an entire container of pepper, and a fair amount of time. I had intended to do it on a white background but did not have paper large enough to accomodate the shot. Hopefully this will be a unique idea/shot. I'd love to finally break 6.0
Hope you enjoy....

I remember this shot well from the challenge - I scored it a 9. Outrageously well done. You are obviously a patient man when you want to be! ;-) Great focus, composition, & color. Excellent work and hats off to you for pulling this off. Good thinking to use clear and translucent men. (Congrats on your PB too!)
In you comments you mentioned that you originally were going to use white paper. I personally think the black works better. The salt may have been lost on white paper. This is a great set up. Congratulations.
Very cute idea and wow this must have been hard to set up. I like the contrast you get here with the grid board. This image is very clear too. Great job!
Amazing creativity!!!! Really well done. Lighting looks good and I like that you chose black for the background. Just a stunning idea, and well executed.
You went to a lot of trouble for this shot, 2 extra points for that! If only you had taken this from another angle I think it would have been so much more interesting...
i was going to do this exact same thing for this challenge which i didnt end up entering
good job, looks like theres too big of mounds though, i think it would look more uhh more better if it was a little leveld off
8 because you did a good job on executing the idea that i never pursued
pepper would win, salt would dissolve in the rain...sorry I digress. Good image with strong subject. Nice suttle lighting, I wonder if a lower angle and maybe from a different side angle it would be even better...just a thought.
