Saw your post and this thumb in the "weird looks" thread. I like your pics because you give a comment about the subject. Interesting fruit. Under-rated pic...

I didn't vote in this challenge (shame on me) as I have been traveling. Howver, I find the photo interesting and the comment informative. Well worth stopping by to view this shot.

This could be an interesting subject with all of that texture. First, it needs to be in focus...additionally some strong side lighting would do wonders with this material. As is, I'm not really overly enthusiastic about this. Sorry.

Sorry I am just not a fan. I don't like the dof or color. 5.

I like that you've gone at this differently - nice perspective.
