Tiny Tuesday - Cucumber in Space!

This is a bit of a late "Emergency Blip" as I spent nearly all day getting some prints ready for the next prints competition at our camera club - they'll be judged in January but had to be handed in today. Then there was the club meeting itself at which projected digital images were being judged - there were 90 entries so it was a long meeting. My three entries were complimented but only given mediocre scores. All judges seem to have a bee in their bonnet about something - this time he seemed to want almost every shot cropped tighter, although he only wanted that on one of mine (which would have completely destroyed the effect I planned!).

Anyway this is a quick macro of a slice of cucumber. I laid it on a slightly rough sheet of black plastic which produced the unintended effect of the cucumber being in space - not what I planned but I rather like it! Maybe it's trying to be a weird alien fruit of some sort...? - Dr Who would probably be able to identify it.  (PS In case you're wondering, I only had half a pint of beer after the club meeting...!)

Many thanks to osuzanna who has nobly taken on the task of supervising TT this month.
