I have always liked onion paper, as it occurs naturally on the onion. Vaguely influenced by "Balloon" from the recent "Childhood" challenge, I took an onion outside to avoid artificial background colors and snapped away. The radials reminded me of longitude lines, hence tectonics.

Never imagined an onion would look good in a photo...Great work! Nice use of DOF. I like the composition as well as the placement of the light source (perhaps just a smidge too much on that one area). I really like the shadows - and so many different shapes. I sort of image a planet exploding something from its center. Really creative and great work. 9

Nice DOF, and I like the shadows (but I'll bet there will be somebody who criticizes the harsh light... the heck with those folks! :)
