Onion or Garlic by olivetreeann

Onion or Garlic

We use both in our house, but today the onion won out as the photo subject.
Love the detail in the lines. I barely go a day without having some onion!

Your onion 'won' out and I have 'run' out! I had to pop to the shops to buy more. Nice detail in the lines.

Great image of the onion. Striking shot.

LOVE your onion in b&w. The clarity is wonderful ... looks delicious. I love sauteed onion with so many things. Especially my burgers! Love the pov and the lines here. Beautiful work, Ann.

onion in black and white. lovely texture. if you had processed this into some pinkish, bluish tint, you have another georgia o' entry. i was thinking this this morning when i was cooking, cutting a large red onion into half and i told myself: hey, there's a gok inspired thingie! but obviously i forgot it and just remembered it now upon seeing your onion.

@salza Thank you Sally! I should have said that this shot was inspired by Bonnie. She was the first one to demonstrate through her own phenomenal shots that vegetables and fruits made great subjects!

@sarasdadandmom Thank you Terry!

@olivetreeann Ann, I remember her onion shot well. It also inspired me to photograph one. She had such a great eye for this type of thing.
October 28th, 2012  
@salza I know- I'm so thankful I have many of her shots in my favs- they still inspire.
October 28th, 2012

Fab detail capturing all the textures.
October 28th, 2012  
Love the black and white processing, really makes the detail of the onion stand out without the distraction of colour.
October 28th, 2012  
Ohhhh - I like this! I will try this soon :)

Very cool shot. Love the close up and the black and white really works.
October 29th, 2012  
@edie Thanks Edie. Had two good choices for this one- one color, and this. I opted for the b/w because it's different than what people are used to seeing. Thanks!

Lyn
I like the B&W very much!
October 29th, 2012  
@lyno Thanks Lyn. I had another one, different composition, in color that I liked too- but this was just different, so I went with it.
October 29th, 2012  
Fabulous///Love it!!! Gotta try this!
October 29th, 2012  
@ruthmouch Thanks Ruth! I learned from another photographer here to look closely at fruits and vegetables because they can make great subjects!
