yeah the white one is a dragon fruit, bit bland to be honest in taste and the other is a kiwano :-) very nice photo though the greens are quite vivid

Hi Else I can honestly say I have never seen these fruits before, the dragon fruit (thanks Barry) is really beautiful. Personnally I like the vivid colour...it adds to the exoticness of the fruit. Good composition too and the drips from the kiwano (thanks again Barry) are making my mouth water!!!

the colours are outstanding!!! personally i would crop out the black as i find holding my fingers up in front of it heightens the sense of vibrancy and lifts the whole shot.

Hi Barry, Thank you for that information .. and dragon fruit is quite bland very different .. I did up the saturation a bit . but not much .. the kiwano are quite green .. My son had bought these and severed them for after dinner .. and quite enjoyed them.
Hi Diane, I had seen the dragon fruit once before but had never purchased them and I had seen the kiwano .. but didn't have a clue how to serve them or what the name of them was .. lol . didn't really pay much attention to them.
Hi Andy, I am looking at the photo and wonder how I could crop this .. without loosing too much of the kiwano at the front ..
Thank you, everyone for stopping by and checking out the exotic fruits and all the comments and help ..
Cheers
Else
