If you had told me that it was a reflection in the background then I wouldn't have been at all suprised. I like the lighting and the black background that contrasts well with the sharp detail that you have captured on the pods. I particularly like the bottom tip, is it doctored?
Great shot. I like how even the little holes in it add to the "mood". The color is excellent and your focus is just dead on (mine is always soft so I prize it in others). It really does seem almost like I can reach out and touch it.
Really nice capture, almo. The color tones and detail are very nice and sharp. What was your set up on this? Just wondering if the bg was something black, or a result of how you shot it.

Rob, I used a Canon D60 with a 70-300 macro zoom and my flash pack. This was a seed pod hanging on a tree at the edge of a gator hole. The background was very bright actually. I have spent a lot of time learning how to black out any background, even in bright sunlight. And photoshop helps for that little extra push.

Like to give us a hint on how this technique works?
