Pomegranate by jamibann

Pomegranate

Sticking with the winter fruit topic. I love these too, although they are 'footerie' to eat. One can keep me busy for a whole evening! ;-)

For those not of Scottish descent ... there's a new word for you! Footerie. It means 'awkward, tricky, not easy'. It's much more descriptive than any of those though. And here's the thing ... I checked on its origins and found this : 'Footer appears to have a rather unusual French connection. It is thought to be associated with the Old French word foutre, which, in turn, comes from the Latin word futuere, meaning, of a man, to have sex with.' Who knew?
Wonderful composition. I like your focal point. Looks really inviting!

Super light and detail Issi. You should tag it for the currently weekly theme theme-red.

Beautiful image. I didn't know about 'footerie', but I'm absolutely sure I'll never forget your explanation ;-).
Fav.

Really interesting focus to match the really interesting word. Love the cheery reds and the hint of the whole pomegranate - your lighting is great - now I'm trying to think of a way to use the new word I've learned!

Lovely and light-filled. You can just see through these jewel-like kernels. Beautiful.

Beautiful composition and dof. I love this colour and the bokeh, and the light. And I would like to grab a handfull, they look so realistic.

Just look at all the delicious gems of sweet nectar! Love pomegranates. Sounds like you used the perfect word to describe the venture of eating one.

Love this shot, Issi. It brings me back to when I was a wee girl watching my mum 'footering aboot' with her pomegranates.
