A Side Order of Corn

An ear of corn, still in the field. Your comments?

Great textures and nice corn colors! Nice comp.!

Great shot love the textures,and nice comp however the one pod which is broken draws to much attention in the frame.

It's true that the one kernel is the focus of interest. I'm not sure that's a defect. It does provoke wonder: "What is going on there? What are those spherical thingies? Is it a fungus?" Assuming that most viewers don't know the answers (I certainly don't), they're going to find it a bit unsettling---is that a bad thing?

 

The color and textures are wonderful and there's a undeniable dental analogy (which may heighten anxiety about the 'abcess'.)

Hi Dave; Well, I don't know what those white spheres are either, but in going thru the pictures I took that day in the cornfield, I liked the image generally and thought those whatever-they-ares were interesting and added to the picture. Thanks for your feedback.
