Bren, what a beautiful photo -- soft yet crisp, with that beautiful light and silky smoothness so many of your shots have. I knew this would finish in the top 10. Congrats again! :)

Finally - a fruit that isn't a banana! This shot isn't overly interesting, but it's easily good enough to be in a cook book or cooking magazine. DOF is really good. Nice work! 8

Perhaps a close up on the pineapple may have worked better

Thanks -- the stylized type reading "Cook Book" looks nighty familiar, but I don't think it's the same book I've seen before. I love reading old recipe books ... one of my favorite recipe beginnings starts ou "Take enough butter, but not too much, and ..."

Thanks everyone for all the comments and voting on my photo. I was very pleased with the results. I wasn't sure how well this photo would do.

I cropped out just the cook book so you could see it. I was given this by my great grandmother and to tell you the truth I have no idea how old it is. There are no dates at all inside it. As you can see it's in very brittle shape and some of the pages are missing. It's so much fun to read though. Especially all the old remedies in it.
