Nice... but, coral is an animal (if it was dead and it was all white, you could claim it was just calcium deposits. But this one is obviously living) Reply »

awesome example of how "macro" photography can later perspective and draw an entirely new interpretation from the observer.... an unusual fruit transports the viewer to an underwater coral reef?! Stunningly indicative of how photography can be Art of the highest order! Bravo! Reply »

Wonderful photo, and it's called 'nameless', because you didn't give it a title.
You can still do that, go to my stuff
my entries,

Good Luck Reply »

author says: Yes, I've left the title blank knowing it will be called "Nameless". And so in line with your ever sagacious advice, I've now named it "Corallissium Kyricom"

Love the name you have given your fruit ... I wonder if it's bitter ... just kidding Kyricom Reply »

author says: Thanks FallingHorse. I guess Kyricom is so overwhelmed with pride (and surprise) having a fruit named after him that he is now quite speechless

I must say that it certainly looks like coral to me too. The only fruit I think it could be is an urucu or a rambutan. It would be great if you could provide an image of the whole fruit in your SBS so that we can determine exactly which one it is. Reply »

Thanks everyone, and of course to Mr. Kyricom without whom this image may have remained "Nameless" Reply »
