Thanks to the numerous contributors of comments -I'm delighted that so many people were foxed by the close-up shot of that peculiar tomato. It was not a macro shot, just cropped from the largerpic - see
tomato journey. If that link doesn't come through, here's the URL in the link:

I'd be interested to hear if you were peeved or piqued by the challenge to identify the fruit ...

A tomato? Now I am REALLY surprised?! And I see what you mean with the What is it comments! But to me not knowing what it was gave it more interest!

I have looked and looked and looked at this and still can't figure out what it is.

Creative idea!

WOW! I feel so dumb...I can't figure out what it is. Very interesting though. Good luck in the callenge. Gracious aka Grayce

Nice hooters. Actually, I'm stumped. I'll give you a 7 for making me think.

i guess its a tomato?

Interesting abstract. I think the glare around the edges is a little distracting, though. karmat

What is it? Nice colour and sheen.

Very bizarre, but I like it! Please tell me, what am I looking at? I am not asking to debate the challenge, I accept that, just....what is it? Very cool image. Glare might be a little sharp around the edges. 9 Swash

Interesting angle, but...what is it?
09/12/2002 01:09:00 PM
Very interesting. The first thought that comes to mind is "what is it?" Focus and lighting are both good. Subject matter is great. 8

very original. seem like you took a different aspect of imagination to achieve this.
09/11/2002 01:29:00 PM
Who would know this was a fruit or, in this case I THINK a vegetable (pepper), by looking at this?
Clever though. I think I would have panned out a bit on this one.
09/11/2002 08:56:00 AM
WHAT is it?
09/10/2002 05:47:00 PM
k, at first glance I thought it was something else.....wait, what IS it?
09/10/2002 11:58:00 AM
umm... what is this?
09/10/2002 11:44:00 AM
Whatever this is looks somewhat interesting... i don't think it holds much artistic appeal in my own mind though... I understand your objective with this shot and the title, but Im not sure what fruit i'm looking at :) - jmsetzler
09/10/2002 02:43:00 AM
What is that???
09/09/2002 11:17:00 PM
Interesting perspective
09/09/2002 09:51:00 PM
Cute idea, but the end result is not very atractive.
09/09/2002 04:31:00 PM
Very pretty. Now tell us ! What is it ? 7

ok, i'm looking fwd to the end of the week to figure out what i'm looking at here. i'm assuming you were going for the abstract look, and then you've definitely achieved your goal. i think i personally would be happier if i knew what i was looking at. i'll keep coming back ... maybe it'll come to me. -- gr8photos.
