Didn't know what this was at first but my friend goog helped me out. A vegetable? Wow, I never heard of these.

Great shot of it here. Love the glow and the details in the foreground.

When I saw this image it instantly made me think of this piece of art, and I haven't seen that picture in years.

Good, nice colour and shape, just the white in the centre of the light source bothers me personally

Nice one. Like the warm colors and compostion. Mesmerizing. Has the feeling of a sunset.

Inside a loofa sponge. Focus needs work. Tough job this close.

Very nice. I would change the composition a little (maybe 90 deg cw?) and it needs to be in a better focus...
