This is one of my favorite pictures that I've taken. I was cooking dinner and went to get couscous. When I picked up the bag, there was a lot of couscous stuck form static to the inside of the bag. I thought the pattern looked incredible so I asked someone to hold the bag up for me while I took the photo.
While editing the picture, I focused on contrast and shadows. I wanted to try and add as much texture as I could around the tiny little noodles. The slight tinge of oranges and greens helped add more things to attract the eye to. Also, because of the unique pattern of the couscous (going slightly from bottom left to top right) leads the eye across the entire picture.
Another editing method I used for this picture was adding a bit of yellow as the shadow color to enhance the couscous and bring a bit more color across the whole picture in addition to the slight amount of saturation I added.
