 I realize this probably won't be as good as I could have done, but I don't have time to re-shoot at this point. The look I was going for was an occultation which is sort of like an eclipse of another planet by the moon. I was trying to bring out the texture of the melon skin as well as the coconut husk... I think I underexposed too much in an effort to get a dark background.

It took me a minute to realize I was looking at a cantelope and a coconut! Very cool! I love the lighting, and the textures really stand out. Great job! :)

Good B/W tonal qualities give impression of planetary topography.

The imfamous cantelope, now available in black and white... With holes? lol How'd you do that or is that the natural shape of the unfortunate fruit.
