Dinner - in bas relief...

...err, that's it.

I'll let you decide whether you like it best on black or white... or at all, of course!

Yummy shrimp

[Lynne]

Looks yummy! Took me a second to figure out it was shrimp so I'll say that I probably would have preferred the color version. Either way, yummy!

[Annie D]

Works really well in black and white

[Taffy]

I like the depth when seen on black. Coincidentally I've just taken our shrimp for tonight, but it's already pealed so has no photographic merit at all.

Great details! I do like shrimp, but I don't think it looks very appetizing in this state!

[Jane Pittenger]

Well, I’m hate shrimp but on black it’s magnificent

[Kathy]

They're fresh but a bit creepy looking.

[Hazel]

Ray has just been diagnosed with FPIES so I shall not show him this. (Fish protein induced enterocolitis syndrome) No more fish!

[Marnie]

Yummo!! How are you cooking them?

[Issi Bannerman]

Delish! Love them any way.

[Granagringa]

The b&w makes it so sculptural...I'm assuming you arranged this quite thoughtfully to get those lovely shapes around the edges.

[Richard Sayer]

@lynne5477 @taffy @lynnz @randystreat @jamibann I expected this to generate a range of reactions - thank you all - the intention was not to make the prawns look appetizing but to make them look like a bas-relief sculpture.

[Richard Sayer]

@golftragic I bought them already cooked Marnie - I served them mixed into a spicy, crunchy mixed vegetable stir fry... they were indeed yummy ;-)

[Richard Sayer]

@quietpurplehaze Sorry to hear that Hazel, I hope it doesn't cause him too much discomfort now that the problem has been diagnosed.

[Richard Sayer]

@granagringa Thank you - bas-relief sculpture was indeed the effect that I was looking for. The arrangement was serendipitous as I just tipped the prawns out of their container and was immediately struck by the way. they looked.

[carol white]

Nicely composed, they don't look particularly appetising though

[Clare Gadsby]

good eye. good edit

[Angelika van Rooyen]

They do look like a bas relief!

[Jean]

Great result. You've certainly achieved the bas-relief effect.

[gloria jones]

Great shot and pov...well done on bas-relief look

[Marnie]

@vignouse Mmmm, sounds perfect Richard.

[haskar]

Great shot and processing. Lovely details.

[Jacqueline]

Yummmmm! Great shot!

[David]

At my age food such as this is potentially dangerous! Even b&w doesn't make it seem more appetising let alone exciting! Maybe I'll give it a miss!
