Mango anyone?
Lens: A 50mm f1.7 Camera: K100D Super ISO: 200 Aperture: F5.6

Hi,

My hometown of Mayaguez is known among other things for the mangoes.
There is an old song that says "Mayaguez tastes like mango". That's the phrase at the bottom.
Another shot from the old A50mm f1.7
This picture is back focus. Even with focus confirmation, been manual focus it was hard to keep it all in focus. Just a matter of more practice.



1/100 @ f5.6

Thanks,

ismael,
I would crop somewhat to focus even more on the mango(e)s. There is too much on the sides. Just me.

A mi paladar, la fruta se ve bien sabrosa. Oye, la verdad que se le siente el jugo!

Good picture.

Nice colors and composition. The only complaint I have is the dirt on the two mangos, which really takes the "deliciousness" off a bit.

Thanks!
Actually, that is not dirt. They were washed for the picture. What happens is that they don't ripe evenly and those dark spots are fairly common.

Thanks!

Great still life - I'm not sure I've ever really looked at a mango before.

Very well done.
