 This is a dried seed pod from some kind of weed I found on a walk. It's been sitting on a shelf for years, just waiting for this challenge.

Seed pod from a tree? I can't think of the kind of tree though, sorry.

This image has a subject but could use some sharpness. That's the beauty of Macro Photography to me... being able to see textures that ordinarily unnoticed.

The outside of a chestnut. (what covers it)

The top of Bart Simpson's head?? Great lighting and composition.

one of those spiky things? :) or a bad punk hairdo?
 06/23/2007 09:23:33 PM
i've seen trees that shed some spiky balls that look like this, is that it? very nice lighting and composition. nice job.
 06/23/2007 09:57:31 AM
is this one of those fruits? I like the way the black background and lighting make it look like a strange planet.
 06/22/2007 08:31:20 PM
This looks like a prickly pear.
 06/22/2007 06:26:24 PM

This looks familiar... Skin of some tasty exotic fruit? Nice shot!

Excellant lighting here. Good texture and a lot of depth. Nice job.

Some sort of seed pod or freaky exotic fruit? Cool photo, effective lighting.

Haven´t the slightest idea of it - good and creative

 06/21/2007 06:34:11 AM
Burr?
 06/21/2007 06:14:51 AM

 06/20/2007 10:55:46 PM
Isn't there a fruit that has very spiky exterior like a passionfruit or something?
 06/20/2007 10:51:40 PM
Very nicely lit and well composed. I like how you also brought out the texture of this with your lighting. 9
 06/20/2007 08:24:39 PM
Nice lighting. This looks scary.
 06/20/2007 08:03:56 PM
Ouch. Looks like the burrs I unwillingly pick up at the river. Great lighting and excellent focus. Nice work.
 06/20/2007 08:03:23 PM
Sand burr?

Outstanding shot!! (8)
 06/20/2007 06:02:05 PM
possibly one of those annoying things that sticks to your clothes
 06/20/2007 03:53:09 PM
The prickly exterior of a seed pod? I like the testure and the background contrast.
 06/20/2007 07:55:44 AM
Organic, like a pumpkin or squash stem.
 06/20/2007 03:53:57 AM
A good shot of a porcupine egg or nut shell?
 06/20/2007 01:55:17 AM
A alien landscape
