I enjoy eating Mandarin oranges too (they go by several other names also) and this is what I was left with after doing a quick peel this morning.
I did a rough job of painting this with light, sized it, sharpened it, fiddled a little with curves and levels and here it is.
Hope you see my eagle... Unfortunately, for me, I didn't wind up with the little tree that often is the prize Andrea winds up with.
Thanks for stopping by,
Bill:)

Great idea Bill.... nice work.
AHA! great stuff! You didn't peel it right to get the pith, you need to eat LOTS so you can practice....well that's my excuse anyway!
I don't want to worry you.......but run for the hills.................cos I see SASQUATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great photo. light and color are right on... I see something that goes BUMP in the night. Glad I was getting up and had some coffee rather than getting ready to go to bed. Whooooweeeeooooo. I'm switching to grapes.
Hehe. Andrea created a tree. You created either an eagle or a monster! Either way, at least they go together,
OK. Bill lol you never fail to amaze me, ever see that women on the tonight show that use to collect potato chips?? Maybe you and Andrea can share these with Jay. Thanks for the smile.. Felt I better add to that for those that maybe never watched the Tonight show but the women had a collection of potato chips that were shaped like things such as animals, or people and she kept them in albums, similar to how someone would keep baseball cards or a stamp collection. :) Lol I had to write that three times.
Looks cool Bill. Now if you found one in the shape of Jesus you might be able to sell it on eBay! ;) Hey Bill, check out Dave's site.....http://ricoarango.com/
Looks good there Bill, a diffent subject, good that you try new ideas, I do see the eagle too :)
How creative this is! Orange peels, pwl, eagles, all mixed together ... what fun! :) :) You have me smiling this morning. :)
Sorry Bill but I see an orange man running with his arms in the air LOL. I like to see you are even creative with your peelings too, very well done to you my friend, and thanks for the smile :o) Hugs Jane xx
Ok, I really am lost on finding the eagle but I can definitely see a frantically retreating Homer Simpson! Super fine shot!
Houston, Tranquility Base here...the Eagle has landed... Stellar clarity, contrast, textures and manipulation in this concept, Bill! Actually, at first glance it looked like a bogey man approaching with nothing but evil intentions on his mind. I wish I was that neat and meticulous in peeling my navel oranges, which always end up in many separate pieces.
Very clever capture and the orange colouring looks great. This eagle would be great to see in the sky!!
A nice find and a good observation.
cool shot...
This is a fun and very imaginative capture.
Well, bright and colourful! But you know me!!! Yeah........ Nuff said, mate! Rob.
lol Cool idea ! :)
COOOOOOOOOL
Cool shot Bill!
Cool, from the thumb I thought this was a ginger bread man! A fun shot!
great! And I love that you referenced Andrea, because her pith creatures were terrific too. But without the 'tree', you got this very friendly creature instead; and while I can see the eagle, I also see a big soft creature with his/her arms out, welcoming everyone. (Maybe it's a boxer—those are pretty thick gloves!) Nice you put it against black, good choice. You and Andrea are making me feel guilty: I never leave the rind in one piece—it's demolished when I'm through; but maybe I'll do a collage with them. (I don't have a camera: Can I scan orange rinds?) Very friendly creature, and if it's an eagle, you might wanna tell him he's got a big hole in the center. Maybe it's aerodynamic, who knows...
