Helpful Posts: This is a section of the outermost layer that I carefully peeled away from a yellow onion. The magnification ratio is about 1:1.9, which means the scene being captured is just slightly less than twice as large as my APS-C sensor. The saturation was not increased during post-processing.
Setup
The background is a relatively distant black carpet on the floor. A flash light is on the right side and behind the subject shining through the translucent onion skin.

Well I wouldn't have known it was an onion skin - what a wonderful world we live in to nature as beautiful as this

Re: Onion Skin
Thank you to Jean, John and Kaye!
My wife thought it was an opaque piece of pottery lit from the front side.

Re: Onion Skin
Very interesting image. If I'd started guessing as to what this was I'd have been way down a list before I came to onion skin. Well done.

Re: Onion Skin
Ditto about identifying this as part of an onion Mike. Reminds me more of a potato crisp (potato chip?). However, this just goes to show what you (and I do mean You) can do with a minimal lighting set up.

Re: Onion Skin
Thank you to Dan and John.
Everyone: When I present abstracts, would you prefer that I identify the subject from the outset or that I wait until the thread has pretty much come to an end before I do that?

Re: Onion Skin
Continued thanks to everyone!
Based on the helpful feedback provided in this thread, I will continue to identify the subject of my abstracts at the outset.
