    Same notes as last few photos. The papaya just lay there, it was hard to find its best side. #photo #still-life #green

    Same notes as the last couple of photos. The coconut was interesting to photograph, and final print shows a slight tinge of brown that is less obvious here. #photo #still-life #black
