High Key Decay

Taken for the Group #MacroMondays Theme: #HighKey

 

Peacefully decaying

on the greenhouse floor

Suddenly came a knock on

heavens door.

It is not your time just

yet my friend, you are

needed for one last task

for a photographer in a 3 layer

mask requires you today

and then you can be on

your way to fully decay :)

(A poem by me)

 

I found this small, 'Cape Gooseberry' fruit in its case in an advanced state of decay on my greenhouse floor. Perfect it is not but a good subject I thought for a High Key shot. However it took a lot of time moving LED lights around and a bit of foil to better reflect the light to eliminate all shadow but I managed in the end. Photographed on matt bright white paper.
