tangerine

@Melissa: thank you very much.

@Mortola: thanks, but actually it was sweet and sour ;)

@Melissa: thanks a lot!

@Irina Sh: thank you!

@Kevin at OrganicPIX.com: thanks, Kevin! i think you're right about the background, though i hadn't really thought of it that way. i guess black is just a default background so i don't end up with my wall or monitor in the shot. one day i'll get more creative with my backgrounds.

@pixeltoko: thank you! yucky? really? tangerines are great :)

@jmb: thank you! i haven't heard the term 'dark isolation' before -- if it has to do with the background, i shot it with the tangerine on my black coat, so the background was black to begin with.

@Richard_Irwin: thanks a lot!

@sherri: thanks. that sounds like a pretty disgusting image.

@Andy B: Wow, thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it that much! Interesting that so many people thought it was like an anatomy photo. Thanks again for visiting!

@Twelvebit: Hmm, interesting. Well, I guess technically it is the internal organs of the tangerine.
