I download different images that represents chemical or
genetic formulas. I made with them a background on a sheet of film. Cut in two an apple and carved a hole. Put in it a frozen fish. Then I fixed the apple on the film with needles. Unfortunately I can't fix the pieces without seeing the cutting edge.

Nice setup. And good sharpness on the details.

Amazing! This would've done well in the abstract food challenge too! I guess I'm going to have to make this a favorite.

this is great idea, my ownly suggestion would be to use a larger file size, yours is 95 kb and the max is 150 kb. Using the whole allowable file size would help with the jagged edges in the small details for exaple around the eye the fish. Here is the link to the challenge submission tutorial. This tutorial is designed for photoshop, but should be similat in other programs. I thought this was great I gave it a 7.

An elite photo that digs deep. Most intriguing is the fact that you come up with this creativity in the progress challenge. At this point Im confident that your photographic skills further exceed the need to be complimented by others, so I wont. However I would like to add you to my favs list. GL.

This is almost the strangest staged photo I've looked at today. Did you really shove that fish into that apple? What would Sir Isaac Newton have to say about all this!?!?!?!?!

Weird. Very weird. But interesting! From a photographic perspective, I think I'd like the apple/fish thing a bit less on the center horizon. Definitely meets the challenge!

Very creative. Interesting how you flipped the photo, the apple seems to be floating now. Great choice of background, it ties the whole thing together.
