I'm afraid to know what this is, but it does have some good abstract qualities. 7

Not too pretty looking all tho - the big white blob in the middle looks like a spiritual dove. The other blobs look like corn lol.

Sharp with black and white conversion done well. The subject seems rather static. I wonder if framing with the light smooth blob more to a corner and on a diagonal would be more interesting visually.

this is going to be some kind of fruit I think...to me I would say it's Strawberry or Raspberry Jam, good clear picture a little flat in tone (IMO)
