Description
Captured 2/2/15, early am, on my way to the local Dollar Tree store.
Original on top, just for the record.
How can anyone eat just half of a sweet and juicy navel orange? Maybe it was rancid. Incidentally, I previously posted a half eaten apple lying on the sidewalk. What transgressions!
Ta ta.

Wonderful find and shot, with exceptional clarity and detail. I love the variations; the blue is very appetising to me, for some odd reason. Maybe if they were blue I would eat more of them!

re people throwing away half a beautiful orange, in Chicago---where we definitely don't grow citrus---you get some oranges that are pretty disappointing. I think it was Seinfeld who said, "buying fruit's a gamble---I know that going in". Maybe this was one of those gambles. But whatever it is, the original is stark and 'biological'---I mean by that, it's like a shot for a biology text, it has real rigor and grit and it feels like a study of deep patterns. Even the sidewalk has lots of patterns. And then you have the minimalism of fruit, shadow and ground. You shot the fruit to one side which was just right for the shadow. The blue version works easefully, though I don't think I could eat it, as Denise suggests. (Blue oranges? Reminds me of that old film, "Soylent Green"!) You got just a slight blue tint to the rest of the shot, good postwork. And the final one is that wormy electrified field work you do, which is esp stunning in the fruit and its shadow. A heyday for wormy creatures. A fine sequence, and the minimalism makes the variations really stand out.
