Macro of the top part of Lychee fruit. Full size picture in the thread below.

The full size Lychee fruit for comparison. It about the size of a medium strawberry. #9508267

Usman, this is wonderful. The color and detail are excellent.

Happy Theme Day! #9541933

Chris Budny level-deluxe July 20, 2011

It almost looks like photomicrography; some weird specimen's details blown up to huge proportions. Thanks for sharing---I've never seen a full lychee fruit! #9541989

What an amazing view of the micro world, Usman. Looks like something on an alien planet. #9542839

Michele Peterson level-classic July 20, 2011

Agreeing with Chris, as I was going to say it looks like you used a microscope! Very cool looking image, and with the comparison to what the fruit looks like "normally"... Let's just say I am really impressed with your reverse lens photographs!! Love the colors and the incredible details!! HTD, Usman! #9543727
