"...innocence of eye has a quality of its own. It means to see as a child sees, with freshness and acknowledgment of the wonder; it also means to see as an adult sees who has gone full circle and once again sees as a child - with freshness and an even deeper sense of wonder." ~ Minor White
Here is the last of my little cucumber slice macro series. I photographed the slices on a light table with my C8080 in SuperMacro mode, about as close as I could get. The purpose of the postwork was to enhance the dynamic range and contrast, but the images are pretty as you see them here. I'm sorry that my comment links were not working over the weekend. A space and snuck into the HTML and was messing things up. I fixed them so if you want to go back and see the images of Gerhard's that served as inspiration. -----

Through the eyes of a child, this is fantastic and gives depth to the simplicity of the cucumber. As an adult, it is a rare artform and very well done. HUGS!!!!!
