[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of my favourite winter fruits.
The medlar is native to the eastern part of the Mediterranean and the eastern part of Turkey, the western part of Iran and around the Caucasus.It is a fairly low tree, between 3 and 6 meters high, with a broad crown and heavy foliage which turns a beautiful reddish-brown in fall. Branches, and often even the trunk, are contorted. The leaves are long and pointed, about 12cm. long, hairy on the underside. And a mass of white, scentless flowers appear during the second half of May. The fruit is greenish-yellow when unripe; it looks a bit like an apple, but with an indentation on the top, surrounded by the calyces.
Uses of the Medlar: The most obvious use of a fruit-bearing tree is of course the consumption of the fruit. The medlar can be eaten raw, but only once it is bletted. Fruit is picked in late autumn and at that stage it is still very hard and greenish-yellow in color. When kept in a cool place,e.g. in layers of straw or sawdust, it will keep for many weeks, even months.

Good and colorful shot!
Perhaps you could have chosen a wider depth of field, f/4.8 is a little bit low here? The closest leaf is unsharp.
TFS!
Jon :)

I like this composition. The colours and light are well managed and the textures flow very fluidly. You have a very fine perspective and pov as well and have an overall image that creates impact and is beautiful.Very vibrant and striking

Very goodloking fruits, and I like the positioning you allowed the ftuits to fill the frame. Very sharp and excellent composure...
nadir.

Hello Csilla,

I like your photo, there is an interesting blending of contrasting colors, the fruits are sharp and the POV is a good one. I also liked the informative note about the Medlar, we do have these fruits in Greece and I like them very much.

Warm regards,
Michael

Linda composição em tons avermelhados. Não conheço a fruta. Pela beleza deve ser bem gostosa.
Abraços
