    Cucumber

    Mrs Zou hates this, partly because she hates cucumber. What do you lot reckon? Good enough to eat, or push it to the side of the plate?

    Re: Cucumber

    It looks cool to me but I think I would prefer it to be brighter. Perhaps it could be back lit?

    I like this, very different but did you eat it afterwards?

    Zou,

    I like the idea as an abstract but I can't find an area of sharpest focus - maybe that was your intentention though.

    Is there anything that you can get sharp on a piece of cucumber ?

    It amazes me the amount of different subject ideas that people come up with on here and this is one of them
    A great picture of an every day subject…well done…I like it

    Re: Cucumber

    Thanks guys. I think I did eat it afterwards (heartless, aren't I!), it was backlit actually, and the softness was mainly intentional (in order to make it a bit more abstract).

    I used the channel mixer to convert to mono and then some tiniting to get the all over green I wanted and to bring out some detail not quite visible in the original.

    ..thought it was one of your macro pinholes....
    nice idea though...

    I like it. I don't think it would have worked as well with sharp focus.
