 I originally tried a spectrum of colours of fruit, using a mango (orange inside, green outside) and fig and lemon, but I wasn't happy with that.
I took this picture which looks quite nice in colour... not so great in B&W, lol! Thought i'd give it a go anyway. The idea behind it was that a fig is red on the inside, and purple on the outside, which are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Imported the RAW file into PSE5, adjusted levels, converted to B&W using the inbuild tool and resized.

Shades of brown. I would have preferred to see more of the sliced fig in foucs to emphasize the seeds.
