Pomegranates are just coming into season and I brought home a couple from the farmers market. They had a little hitchhiker - a tiny snail. Since this is my first attempt at a macro in a long while, I'm saving the tiny snail for later(assuming it likes its new home).
Thanks for all the good comments. Sensor dust, yeah. I did clean out the big dust bunnies, but didn't 'see' the smaller dust.
Erm, actually, the seeds are this color. The only color change I did was to the background.
Notes for this one: I did change the background color a bit, as the green plate just didn't work well. Other than that, manual focus & tripod.
Lovely colours in this. I sort of get the impression that this is a dental close-up. It almost looks like some particularly grubby teeth erupting from a gumline.
It doesn't look much like a pomegranate seed to me because the color is off -- too yellow. But that doesn't matter; you can make it any color that appeals to you, and I do like the color of this image. I really like the composition. I think this could be very good with some more work on focus and lighting. (I'd use the healing brush on those black spots.)
I think this deserves a second attempt. The lighting is not accentuating the pomegranate. The small aperture has declared your task for the weekend! Clean your sensor ;)
The extreme aperture give you great DOF but it also reveals some serious sensor dust too. The lighting could use some evening out but there's some great detail to enjoy in your shot.
