NO SUBJECT

Hi Randall... interesting photo!! an ugly and wrinkled hand-shape carrot, looks spectacular in your composition.. Best regards, Ricardo

complex simplicity

I like your choice of lighting, composition and perspective. I would experiment a little with letting the subject bleed past one or more edges of the frame to increase the mystery and drama. A person could get a lot of satisfaction exploring the combinations and permutations of a seemingly simple subject like this.

regards, bert
