Assignment 2: Elements of Design: Distinct Shapes

Distinct, even if irregular, shapes.
For this element I chose diced mango as an ingredient. I stoned and diced one half of the fruit and left the other cut but not separated from the skin. I used north daylight for this shot with one silver reflector to  the right of the camera. The set up is shown below:

These mango dice were placed to emphasise their irregularity and in an attempt to achieve a loose composition. The cut in the half mango leads the eye directly into the centre of interest.
