@MOHAMMAD: thanks.

Now I have the munchies!
I love saltine crackers, but it is funny the things in life one associates with particular food items.
For example, food you had eaten before possibly drinking too much ;-)
The composition, sepia treatment, and texture here reminds me of a time when a coworker relied on them for her morning sickness. :-o Great image, but I hope these accompanied their way into a nice hot bowl of soup!

@Kevin at OrganicPIX.com: that is one weird food association. i don't think i've tried them with soup before. i generally just like eating them by themselves as a snack.

Jen from Alpharetta, United States

Wonderful macro...I really like the sepia effect.
(like Kevin I enjoy them in soup too : )

mmm tasty - nice composition with the visual contrast of the opposing lines, crumbling edges and smooth textured paper.

I too associate saltines with morning sickness- not that they helped, but because everyone would always say "have you tried saltines?"

I always wanted to yell at them in response!!
"Everybody suggests that OF COURSE I've tried it!!"

@farmermarn: Wow. I didn't realize people had such strong feelings about saltines! ;)

Beautiful light, textures and composition. Could be used commercially, but very artistic, too.
