I'm wondering if I could "string" these up as Christmas decorations?

I remember as a kid stringing popcorn as garland for the tree, but I believe these (fruits?) would be much more colorful. They would look beautiful on a green Xmas tree with lights & I can't wait to see it ~ hint, hint. A wonderful capture PJ.

I've just made a large fruit salad for later. One of the main constituents was the seeds from 2 pomegranates. Delia and I always think they look like little jewels amongst the other fruit. A really beautiful still-life PJ. The colours are perfect.

PS. Have you ever tried pomegranate molasses? It is fantastic!!

Me too! I always love it when we get them for Christmas. I usually end up staining what I am wearing, but they taste good. Again, beutiful shot Phaz. Great lighting, form, color... is there anything you didn't get for this one? By the way, where on earth did you get so many pomagranates in one place, a fruit market or something along that line? I know that you can dehidrate them enough to make them into ornaments, but you have to take care to get all the juice out of them or they'll mold. It is usually a pretty long process too.

I had no idea what they were until someone pointed out they were pomagranates. I thought they looked liked onions. I knew garlic strung keeps vampires away but I wasn't sure about onions. Now I'm not sure about pomagranates. Beautfiul photo though. Will make great desktop PJ.

I love the flavour of them but the seeds drive me nuts. Just as well I dont get to eat many I am nutty enough.

Allways when I go to your gallery I stall at this shot. Now I have to comment it:
I like the composition. The exposure is exactly right and the sharpness on the first two pomegranates is perfect. And it does not abate too quickly. The light effects give some warmness to the shot. Really very nice!
