Fig study ~ 1

I love Figs.

They are such a photogenic fruit I think.

I have deliberately cropped the shadow to make more of the fruit in this photo.

We grow and consume more than 1.1m tons of Figs each year, with Turkey growing the most at approx 300,000 tons. The Figs in this shot are from Turkey.

I am now looking forward to these Figs being transformed into my wife Rebecca's delicious Fig and Frangipane Tart.

I have a beautiful watercolour painting of some figs, which in many ways is the inspiration for this photograph

Ooooooo lovely image...brilliantly done..of course!! I'm still waiting for my harvest having planted a cutting 3 years ago!! Rebecca's tart sounds divine, lucky man!!!

Figs are a wonderful visual fruit but I am afraid I was put off them by school dinners & have never eaten one since...too gritty. Perhaps I should give them another go!!! Love the way you have got the focus here & they are very pretty inside.

[Pat Knowles]

Perhaps you should put the recipe up & we could all have a taste!!!!

[KWind]

I don't think I've ever had a fig. Looks interesting. I just might have to try one!

[Jill]

Beautiful textures - it looks wonderful! I've never had a fig before, although this makes me want to try one :)

[Corinne]

Very nice texture !

[jerry plume]

Very modern! Love the details!

I'm not a big fan of fresh figs, but I do like your composition and lighting. Great shot with lovely colours

Great shot - saw lots of figs in Cyprus a few weeks ago.

Very appealing shot. I love the texture of the fig's centre, and the overall composition.

[Taephy]

i hv never tasted...nice shot of it.

[Ann Jones]

Excellent result!

[Sabine]

lovely shot, Sean. It reminded me that I should go and have another look in a local nursery to see if they sell small fig trees. I've always wanted to give growing one a try.

[Lisabell]

Great shot! I had never seen nor eaten a fig until last year. I think I can go another 48 years before eating another.

[Sean O'Neill]

[Stacey]

Figalicious!

[Sophie]

[Junko Y]

Photographed so delectably I feel like I could reach in and pick it up and enjoy it -- with ricotta cheese and fresh minced herbs on it!

I'm enjoying looking around your album . . . thanks for the follow, and am now following you back! I can tell I have a lot to learn from you.

[Sean O'Neill]

@jyokota Thank you so much. If you like this, I would look out my cocnkers hot from last October, and Apples and Pears from March I think.....
