Gold Kiwi Fruit

The Chinese Gooseberry is native to eastern Asia. It was introduced to cultivation in the West some time around the 1900s, but was not commercially exploited until a name change and a very successful marketing campaign in New Zealand made it a familiar sight in fruit shops all over the world. The fruit we now know as kiwi fruit has hairy brown skin and green flesh with a centre ring of black seeds.

The new golden kiwi fruit, another great success story for New Zealand. The skin is brown like that of the normal kiwi fruit, except it is a little bit less hairy. However, the interesting part of this new fruit is the inside. It has juicy yellow flesh with a mango or melon type taste, and it’s sweeter than the normal kiwi fruit.

Hi Alaettin ;)
waaawwww...what a fantastic idea, light and detals...

Hi Alaettin,
Beautiful macro, every detail is pin sharp.
Did you cut a thin slice and backlight it, or light from the front?
Wellpresented either way, well done.
Pete.

Nice one, Alaettin. This time you got really up close. It looks quite juicy, and the luminosity is wonderful. A bit of noise, but so what?! "Our" camera does good close-ups for sure. Well done! - Cordelia :))

Hi Alaettin,

I did not know the yellow kiwi exists! I must see if they have them at our markets. I like the contrast of the soft yellow with the bold black seeds and the repetitive lines and seeds. Very nice macro! Looks delicious...

the very close PoV and the light from behind combine to create an almost abstract image -- very fine capture.
a hint for the future: try a higher f stop -- so long as you use a tripod, the longer dof works better for a macro (f/16 seems to be about the best)

Hi Al...

Beautiful shot, great macro, very nice details and sharpness, you captured it so close that I feel it have a "zoom" effect, nice work! :D


have a good weekend,

Cheers,
Sweety

Hello Alaettin,

Excellent contribution to the theme! Great colors and light, clear details and very well presented.
Best regards,

Hi Alaettin,
Who would have thought that a diagonal cross section of the kiwi fruit would produce this sumptous image. There is beautiful abstract symmetry. A terrific posting. Greetings and thanks for your kind remarks on my butterfly posting! Danilo

Nice! I'm interested to know how you got the luminescence like this, it almost looks as though it was lit from behind. Excellent details and interesting textures.
