Garlic Beauty

I had tried a high-key approach to photographing this garlic bulb I brought home from Gary's farm but I really wasn't happy with the results. But this shot is exactly what I wanted.

Oh, and I just realized this shot fits the bill for the latest technique challenge- negative space!

Seen like this - the curving lines of the bulb are quite arty!

here's a recipe for roasted garlic, tried and tested by summerfield. http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/roasted_garlic/

@maggiemae I think so Maggie- it really has some of the prettiest coloration I've seen on a garlic bulb! It's the Russian Rumacole variety.

@summerfield Thanks Vikki- I will have to call this up when I'm on the main computer so I can print that out.

Wonderfully composed, captured!

[Sarah Bremner]

simple and beautiful it is!

[Sally Ings]

Unusual way to look at it. Interesting composition, one expects to see the bulb placed in the bottom right corner rather than where it is. I like that you have broken the mold and placed in on the left.

Give me some olive oil, some garlic and some kale and I would eat a dish meant for kings. Gotta love garlic!
