a persimmon shadow!

in Shadow Hunters3 years ago

Recently I take almost no other pictures than of persimmons; persimmons at the counter, outdoors outdoors of the shop, bodegon on the plate, delicious slices. One of the compositions, occasionally, received a splendid shadow -- of course I could not simply pass it by. I took a picture and after a small editing (I swear, I didnt elongated it!!! the shadow on the photo is not photoshopped, I just corrected the color grading) -- I share it here with you.

Hope you like it. Autumn is the time of persimmons!

The other shot have a shadow too. We have a nice glass vasa decorated as a leaf (it has some elvish assotiations to it!) and it casted a nice shadow too, although it is not very big -- this time I wasnt focusing on a shadow, its a pure by product :P

Wonderful use of complimentary colors to bring out the persimmony shadow! Good luck in the Shadow Hunters Contest! @qwerrie

Can't say that I've ever tasted a persimmon before but enjoyed this description:

"Persimmons taste like no other fruit. They have a silky, slippery texture and taste kind of like the fabulous fruity love child of a mango and a roasted sweet pepper, with some cinnamon in the background. They are rich and tangy and sweet, all at the same time."

Nina, thankyou a lot for the compliment.

wow, how happened you really did not test it even once? they arent that rare (me thinks) ?.. tho it is a seasonal fruit, indeed, and when they aer matured, they can not be kept for long, unlike bananas or apples... well, the taste is indeed quite unique... but for me it is too much tannin (which I have idiosyncrasy to). Personally, I adore their visual side most. I really wish you will meet and taste it one day!
