I would have shot this in front of a window on an overcast day with enough distance between the subject and the window to blur the background with the shallow DOF. Also, you could combine two exposures to blow out the background and preserve the onion.

I have a question to ask.... How do you do these kinds of photos, without a lightbox. This would have been a totally different photo with the lightbox. Does anyone have a suggestion? Also how do I increase the contrast without loosing the pastel colors of the onion slice? Will appeciate any input. -Cat

Thanks Britt, I am glad you liked it. Also thanks Shu for the second look. Don't worry about 3AM thing. Sometimes that's the only time you find time to look at what's going on... :) -Cat

Yes, of course! The onion IS the flame.......sorry, I shouldn't stay up until 3am and critique an image. Worse, I shouldn't stay up until 3am and create my own images! LOL shu
