They begin to grow all over again! I neglected this onion for a couple of weeks, on my kitchen counter. Then, as it began to take on a personality of its own, I couldn't bare to see it eaten.. I thought it could make for an interesting photo, and this was what I came up with. Thoughts?
My own critique, would be I wish the background would have been a little brighter and more white. I think it was picking up some of the tones from the wood stool the onion was sitting on.. Or maybe it's my imagination? Maybe some fill light on the white foam board to wash it out and brighten it up? I PP in LR4, so if anyone has suggestions on how I could adjust it in post, I'm all ears. Anyway, setup was a white foam board about 14" directly behind the onion, perpendicular to the lens. Natural light from the cameras 8 o'clock through a patio door on a cloudy day.
