Cool as...

A Cucumber!
Held up to the window to catch natural sunlight and then put through an HDR editing program to highlight the centre seeds and chambers.

Quite amazing what you can find when you dig a little deeper...
Wow I love it. Fav perfect focu n detail

@willowdragon It's funny how you start to see things in a differing light when you have to post a photo every day! Thanks for the kind words Al! Have a great day and hope the renovations are coming along nicely!

This is incredible - I wasn't sure if it was a photo of a painting or what, the textures are wonderful!
May 5th, 2013  
@okavangohippo Thanks Lin. It did appear to me as some kind of painting once i'd put it through the HDR edit. It certainly highlighted the seeds a heck of a lot better!
