Carcass....

[SniperD]

of a pomelo

Taken with EOS 30 w. EF28-105mm
Partial Metering (to backlight the shrivelled skin and texture)
f4.0, 1/500s


Comments are greatly appreciated! :bsmilie:

*Usually pomelo and their skin are found hung outside shophouses and even houses as a sign of luck to be attracted to give more business or to the household....:light:

self critique: what's that thing?! Spot metering on the wrong object of focus, foreground too overwhelming dark and doesn't show it's a pomelo skin... take more pictures! :what:

 

[SniperD]

actually, would anyone wanna tell me how to improve this shot? I wanted it to be super abstract and started with an X-ray imagery in my head when I photograph this but ended up with a not-so-abstract piece of dried skin......:cry:

actually, the word "carcass" is reserved for dead animals. you should have used the word "corpse" instead.... :bsmilie:

 

[SniperD]

hmm... actually it looked like a upside down bat .. hmm, will see if the change will help put perspectives togther again..

 

[sehsuan]

now that you say it, it DOES look like a bat! interesting perspective that makes inanimate objects into animals...

 

[SniperD]

sigh... thanks for the encouragement...

Look like a bat hanging outside your house

 

[SniperD]
