Nicely done once again Robert. A blemished peach doesn't turn my stomach at all, not like a moldy tomato...after all that little worm wouldn't eat much. Nice take on the assignment...well done!
Tom, I am still looking for a real worm. BTW, Jane got a chuckle out of your comment about her moldy tomato.

Like I was saying to Jane, you can definitely tell when you to post because of your style and taste! This one is no exception and nicely done with some humor. The real worm may have actually been a bit gross to look at?

Thanks, Steve. Stay tuned, the real worm may turn up this weekend. I hope that I can find some time to drive out into the countryside before the deadline. What we won't do!
This is really a good picture, nice lighting and composition. I like the fact the it looks "fat" and takes over the frame. Not sure about the slightly soft edge of the leaf but still a really neat picture. Did you get the worm ?
Thanks, Jim and Christian, for taking a look. No worm yet, with "yet" being the key word.
Christian, I shot this with my favorite combination, the 70-200 with the 500D, so the DOF is pretty shallow, The edge of the leaf was obviously a little far back to be in the 1" or so sharp range.

It is, indeed, a real worm, Patty. I don't know if you saw the original entry, but I had posted a peach on which I had created a worm in post processing, but then I set out to find a real one, thinking that I would have to drive out into the country north of here. However, Jane remembered that the local bird food store has live meal worms, so now we have a jar full of them, and I re-shot the photo. We now have worms as part of our photography props. :worried:
Robert
P.S. No worms were harmed in the making of this photo.
