Internal Papaya Forest

My wife cut into a papaya the other day and, found the oddest thing. Inside the fruit, which was completely sealed with no visible cracks or holes, the seeds had started sprouting. She has probably cut open over a thousand papayas in her life and has never seen seeds sprouting. The only thing that could have been stranger would have been to see a picture of a space alien. Mondo bizarro!

 

I took four different pictures here, with only the focus point changing, and then blended them in Photoshop CS4, in a technique called focus stacking. To see other pictures where I used this same technique to achieve maximum depth of feld, please see my Maximum Depth of Field Macros set. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157624044378381/
