i think this would be way more appealing in black and white.

Oh man, my alternate for this challenge was turnips. I REALLY wanted to try to take an otherwise unattractive fruit/vegetable & do something interesting with it but went with a cliché shot instead (sort of a 'learn the rules before you break them' lesson for me...).
Anyway, that's what I like about this - that and its strong first impression. It's a little bottom-heavy for my tastes and deeper dof would have satisfied my detail fix but I like the lighting you employed here.

Ya know......I'm thinking there's something to the latin term "vulgaris" there! *grin*.....not pretty, are they? But, great shot!

Good idea, but the shadows are too dark for my taste. They're hiding the textures that I want to see. 6

I like the idea of this. Great lighting. I'd have the root sticking up in the background out of the shot and have them sitting on a solid black surface.
