... yummy for certain people, but yucky for the others.
Some people even do not attempt to taste it due to its strong, very strong pungent smell. Many have said that it could be stinks like hell, but tastes like heaven. So prove it :D

After uploading The queen of fruit, now is the King’s turn. I used natural backlight with a refractor placed in front of the subject, and black backdrop behind it. It was a complete opposite to how I photographed the queen.
I hope you like it.

Thank you for viewing, any comments/critiques are welcome.

the image is very tempting..the meat is gorgeous!!!good dof & pov. i going to eat durian this week!

Hi Ratna,

Great image !! and great taste to. :-)
Good color and DOF. POV also oke.
The light is a little bit too much in the foreground, where it is nearly over-exposed.
All in all a very good photo.
greetings,
Joop!

Hi Ratna,
I'd like to taste it someday!
From the thumbnail it looks like 2 embryos tucked together in a womb/cocoon!
Thanks for sharing,
Esperança

looks very tasty to me ratna :)
love the king of fruits :)

good use of the light here, nice tones and details

koh

It's into my intention to taste it... I knew about that smell till a couple of years... The problem is that i will probably be alone to taste it, cause i don't know person who want to try it with me in cause of the smell...
I will buy one in the Chinatown and will go to a park to taste it :)
We cannot really say What a powerful subject! The fruit have it's limits of esthetism... But you take it well! It's a good challenge to present it into an appetizing angle like a kiwi slice who present vivid colours. But considering the subject... I believe you do something good!

well, the light and the fruit is just great, and i must say i loovee this fruit!DURIAN. its native to ours. the pungent smell and the delicate yet strong taste would make your body heat up in a matter of minutes! not recommended to people with highblood pressure.
One more thing, there must be certain technique to open this properly.

Hi Ratna
Totally unfamiliar with this food but certainly looks good in your photo. Very nice macro work. As someone mentioned, the lighting may be a bit strong in the FG, but overall very VERY nice. The colors and tones here are awesome and great detail. TFS

You managed to reproduce very well the soft internal texture of the durian. The lighting is very good. Luckily the smell of the king does not come over the internet:)

Hi Ratna

Nice subject and very intresting result, good compostion with nice lights and colours, But i don't like the shallow depth of fields in this Could be better if totally sharp. (may be i wrong)
