Onion Rings

This is one beautiful image Mike Although I like the dark greys in the image, I keep wondering where those come from and how ?

Nice! I think you are definitely catching the macro bug. Glad to see it.

Continued thanks to everyone!

The onion is translucent when it is cut so thin. The light is shining from behind the onion through those translucent areas. The dark background is showing through them exactly in the same way a dark background shows through transparent glass lit from behind.

I see, thanks for explaining Mike

If no one told me I would have said lace. The sharpness and the details you got with your new setup brilliant. Mike, I am not forgetting your high levels of skills to execute this image.

Not to mention skills in slicing onions finely!

This isn't about the onion for me, I've been reading about some photographer whos name escapes me right now - something to do with Man Ray - but essentially about seeing things differently - nice shot Mike.
