MarcR Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · #272: Edge appeal Comments, critique, and criticism very welcome. Thanks for looking! Marc. Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 12:57 AM

Philly Rains Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · #272: Edge appeal Hi Marc! LOVE your title, and of course, your image is very appealing. (I'm terrible at puns. ) Great DOF, and color, and that instrument is interesting. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Super entry, my friend!

Vipermike Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #3 · #272: Edge appeal Ok I vote for most intriguing shot!! Marc, what the heck is that thing? Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 07:35 AM

MarcR Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · #272: Edge appeal Philly, Mike, Thanks for your nice comments! I'm astounded to learn that you haven't seen this instrument before. It is very common in Germany (and probably in other countries in Europe I should think, but I don't really know). It's a peeler that allows you to not waste too much of whatever you peel. I know there're different designs, so you surely must have one over there? Post a pic please! Anyone out there who doesn't know the fruit? Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 11:14 AM

Patricia March Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #5 · #272: Edge appeal Marc....you have me going crazy trying to figure out what fruit it is when It's probably as simple as a green apple. (although I've never seen skin like that on a green apple) I have also never seen a peeler like that. Back to the photo.....Great dof and yes it is Intriquing!

MarcR Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · #272: Edge appeal Hey Patty ... pull the other one You really don't know? I'm even more bewildered now. What a surprise that this has turned out to be a guessing-game. No, it's not a green apple (no apple at all) Thanks for commenting! These peelers are great by the way (although only for right-handed people). You can hold them just like a small knife. Very handy. Maybe I should start exporting them to the US. I'll wait though til the Dollar isn't so cheap anymore. Anyone out there interested in pre-ordering? Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 06:28 PM

Philly Rains Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #7 · #272: Edge appeal I'm guessing it's a pear? Yes, we have peelers, but they don't resemble yours. Here's what ours look like, (at least the kind I use, my mother uses, and her mother used.) The rust is what happens when one uses the electric dishwasher. I try to remember to hand dry mine but at least the blade stays clean. (I do wish they'd improve the handles.) The blade spins around and one peels by scraping the fruit/vegetable away from one's hand, if one is smart. Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 07:52 PM

Philly Rains Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · #272: Edge appeal Oh yeah, and I meant to say, ours works for right or left handed people, and the pointed end is for scooping the eyes out of potatoes. (At least that's what I use it for.) Wanna trade? Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 07:58 PM

jban99 Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #9 · #272: Edge appeal Good picture Marc. I like all the cut lines on the board as result of the peeler’s sharp edge, but would like to see a different composition where we could see more of that instrument that’s unfamiliar to me too. Sorry to say that I can’t recognize the fruit by its peel either! Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 09:24 PM

MarcR Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #10 · #272: Edge appeal Philly, I've seen one like yours before. By the way, the pointy triangular part of my peeler is to poke out potato eyes. I prefer mine Actually I got it from my mum (she's got a newer one instead). Don't know about my grandma though so you win No pear. Sorry. I think the confusion comes from the fact that one wouldn't actually peel this fruit. John, To be honest, the cut lines are from knife use. I wish I could say that the puzzlement (if that's a word) was planned ... I shall post a full-peeler photo soon Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 13, 2007 at 10:01 PM

FJR1 Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #11 · #272: Edge appeal Now that's a sharp edge and a great photo. Bravo, Marc!--Frank Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 14, 2007 at 12:10 AM

hhski Online Image Upload: On p.1 #12 · #272: Edge appeal Boy I must be a little off my game still. Didnt quite catch the pun at first. I would have cropped more of the fruit out. Very clever. Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 14, 2007 at 01:00 AM

Philly Rains Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · #272: Edge appeal So, Mr. Mysterious! Are you going to tell us what kind of fruit you were peeling? I have no other guesses to make! Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 14, 2007 at 03:06 AM

Carrol Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #14 · #272: Edge appeal A Lime ?? ~ Carrol Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 14, 2007 at 06:44 AM

Tom Basore Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #15 · #272: Edge appeal Really nice lighting and composure. My peeler is similar to Philly's. I too am wondering what you are peeling. Well done. Edited on Nov 14, 2007 at 10:21 AM Nov 14, 2007 at 07:08 AM

MarcR Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #16 · #272: Edge appeal Frank, You're too kind. Thanks! Howard (is that actually your name?), I somehow like that the fruit takes one third of the image, but I'm sure there would've been other options. It was hell to arrange everything, especially the peel. (not a very appealing task ) Philly, Mr. Mysterious? I like that Carrol, A lime? A lime!!! Well done! Tom, Thanks a lot!
