Perfect Julie, It now looks one of the best on topic picys now:-) Don't worry you're not alone in trying to figure out wot I'm on about:-)

There you go Rod. I must admit, I couldn't really see your point of it being off topic before, but I have peeled the apple peel back a bit. Julie

Thanks for explaining - Debi

This is a terrific off topic picy, in fact it's the best off topic picy yet, well done Julie:-) What we are after is a composition that ses a part thereof in a visible sense. Here I see the whole of something visually even though at one time in the past it was a part of something else. You would have to crop this down the left or right third to bring it on topic........................or bugger it off to Pending:-)

Thanks Claire, Debi and Penny. I see this as part of the apple, as well as part of the apple peel.
This is scanned on a flatbed scanner. The object is placed on the platen and is covered by a box which is black on the inside. The box is about the same length and width as the platen, but quite deep, so no focus occurs on the box itself. Lessen the light, increase the contrast slightly and clone out the white dust spots which almost always occur and the clarity of image is satisfying. Julie

hmmm. I think it works for the topic. And I love the idea. And the lighting.

I dont think our host will agree this is a part - but one more brilliant scan- how do you get the background black ? Paper? - Debi
