Another in my exploration of textures and colour.
I was taken by the strange Texture, look, colour and waxy feel to this fruit...just had to become a photo subject.
When i cut it open to explore the inside it is white with black seeds...even better.


Taken in natural light, black cloth background, tripod and cable release.


Ps work
slight crop,
levels
slight saturation increase


Ps. looked a lot better than it tasted...well had no taste at all...much better as a photo subject.


Pps, You eat the white part with the black seeds, I used a spoon and although it was alright I probably wont repeat the exercise.

The central portion of the dragon fruit makes me think of cookies and cream ice cream... is that central black and white the edible portion or can you eat any other part of the fruit? The fruit is very striking set against the black background you made use of.

It certainly is a most colourful fruit. Possibly it would make a better subject if propped up to about 60° (with pins in the back maybe).

Well done, you've captured all the detail.

The vibrant colors and texture is beautifully captured. I like that the fruit is not sliced in half as would be one's inclination to do.
