When I was arranging the products, I put a few cucumbers in an empty wooden pot and I got a very interesting result. Right away I took the camera and shoot a picture of:
It’s like The Kraken ..... kraken kukumber
yes :)
Very nicely put and photographed, my favorite for the moment ;)
Thank you @lightcaptured
Pleasure ;) Good luck!
WOW! What an amazing still life composition!
The zoom is very sharp ... but the composition is still soft because of the lighting and grey-scale.
Thank you @phototoken . The idea of this photo was to be more minimalistic only the main subject be in focus.
To support you even further, here's my entry :)

For my entry, I present you with a grasshopper's exoskeleton. I couldn't believe how well preserved it was sitting in my backyard. Sorry if you don't like bugs and are squeamish, but this stuff fascinates me.
I also shared this contest in a recent post (https://peakd.com/photofeed/@bradfordtennyson/my-entry-in-to-the-still-life-photo-contest-link-in-post) hopefully we can all get some traction with these types of activities.
This one is my favorite so far. Such strong focus. GREAT macro photography!

Yum! Cooked food is certainly a great still life subject!
