 The sun setting over the great dunes of the Sahara Desert!? OR... A few cups of sugar on my dining room table?

I used a couple pieces of white printer paper that I placed behind my sugar dunes. I shined a yellow light on the paper to create my "sunset". The dark toned part of the "sky" at the top of the photo is the dining room wall.

mounds of sugar. Hope you don't have ant problems now. I like the lighting effect you got here, wish it was bigger.

Nice angle! turning sugar into a desert scene? the out of focus foreground is iffy. Adds to the depth of the image, but maybe a bit distracting.

I like this, it almost looks like sand :)

Sugar?

I first thought of sugar hills then I looked at it closer and I can see it is made with fur, these two choices are so far apart that I am looking forward to seeing what it really is. good luck
