Slammer Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Some kind of seed? RAW format is a great tool to work with, where as JPEG is like: Open freezer, take out frozen pizza pop in oven, eat. RAW is grind wheat for flour, buy a pig, make you own bacon, grow tomatoes and onions, milk the cow for cheese. RAW offers just so much more scope for getting that perfect picture than any other format in my humble opinion.
Smee Again Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I would think it's some sort of seed. iuli and TomSmithNaturePhotographer 2

Wosven Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 A seed or some bark/rush. It also look like cuttlebone (? "os de seiche" in French), but more yellow, that people give to birds.
John Rostron Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 Some indication of scale would help. The pointed object above looks as if it could be the tip of a wooden toothpick. The bottom part looks like a husk of a corncob, but these two would be on different scales. John Windows 11, Affinity Photo 2.4.2 Designer 2.4.2 and Publisher 2.4.2 (mainly Photo).

John If you look at the DOF, you can see it is very thin, a problem with macro photography. Plus, the texture of the thing it's on is plastic. These are some indercations that it's a macro shot. It's a melon seed. Wosven and John Rostron 2
