interesting not sure whether I want an greater depth of field or not ... I would have liked the lighting to be a bit more dramatic.

I'm guessing these are fossilized? Others may not recognize that.
Nice macro! 8

Thanks to your title, I had to do some reseach. I certainly would not have seen rotten fruit as obsolete till then. Now I am enlightened and enjoy voting and envy your honor at seeing them.

Cool shot of echinoids! Really like the composition. I really hope the voters realize how obsolete these are.

This shot is a bit blurry and pixelated probably due to too much compression.

looks like a cantoloupe or similar fruit...a google brings up something about fossils...so how to vote this one? On meeting challenge (with or without research), on technical quality (fine there) or aesthetic beauty (very little) or composition (moderately OK there). Hmm...
