Hi Davide:
Thank you so much for taking the time to give me advice on this, I really appreciate it!
The method you describe is actually fairly similar to what I did do, but the dark background never occurred to me...I would like to try that!
I really liked the results you got with your owl shot. I am just learning about photography and am really enjoying the feedback and ideas.
Linda

Hi Jim:
Thank you for your well thought out comments. I am new to photography, and here to learn! As to the shadow, I thought it would add depth to the photo, so I actually emphasized it! It wasn't until I read your comment that I realized the partial shadow could be distracting. I plan on playing with the photo more so that I can compare the two versions.

Hi, Linda!
I totally agree Jim's comment
just a hint to improve the subject of this pic:
place the onion on a table, or else away from any wall or reflective surface (better is to set up a dark piece of fabric as a backdrop)
set your camera on the lower sensibility, then set the longest exposure available (30" circa), with a narrow aperture (f/22 would work good)
put your camera on a tripod (or another surface where camera can stand still)
then switch off the light (room completely dark)
and shoot!, during the exposition, enlight the onion with a flashlight from different positions
until the shutter close.
well, at this point, the result would be similar to this:

enjoy!
sorry for this boooring comment, but it's easier to do it, than to explain;)
Ciao!
Davide

Very nice still life. The lighting and exposure look quite nice. The amount of detail and texture revealed makes for an interesting viewing. Perhaps this would be even stronger with out the shadow on the left edge of the frame? If there were more shadow it would repeat the form of the onion and wouldn't be as distracting to me. With so little of the shadow there I'm not sure it really adds to the image. What are your thoughts on it?
