The shallow DoF is solely from being shot at f/2.8 - no PS magic there. Thank you all for the kind words.

Great idea, Tristan. Everything about this image really works, composition, dof, color in the spices. Well seen and executed. -Michael

Neat idea - great exposure, color, and dof!

This is beautiful tristan... did you blur the handles in post or were you able to do that while taking the picture?

very nice! You should actually enter this for the mini challenge running on STF right now.

Tristan, I like all of yours but am especially drawn to this one. Nice arrangement of interesting subjects that contrast well with the white background. Very nice DOF effect and splashes of color in the repeating elements. Well done. MFC

Chili powder, turmeric, tarragon, mustard, salt. Thanks for looking.

Very nicely laid out. I love the crisp white and stainless steel with the splashes of color.
If I had to guess...
Chili powder, paprika or cumin, basil, ginger or mustard, and salt. Am I at all close? ;^)

Well done. Very effective use of color and shallow dof. -john(ebones)
