Description
My constant reminder that even in the darkest times there is a ray of hope you can hold on to.
That there always is a chance for a new beginning.

I especially like this one! love the contrast and the details. not entirely sure what this is, but it makes me think of some kind of shell or skeleton of a little creature. almost like a graveyard?
anyway! it's wonderful

You're getting the right feeling here!
It's a kind of Physalis fruit - a "winter cherry". Normally they have a very bright, orange skin, but if snails eat it away, those wonderful, fine structures come to light.
It's one of my favorite fruits

Thank you! I'm planning on sharing some tips on using LED lights for photography in the next months on my blog:

You're welcome!
It happens that I drafted up last week a tutorial on using the kind of LED videolights I used for this.
I already shot the sample images & it just needs some final polish.

Die farbliche Gestaltung und der gesetzte Fokus bringen das Hauptmotiv sehr gut zur Geltung!

Oh wow, that is awesome. I always wondered what these looked like after their main appearance.
I love the contrast and low tones of this; it gives off an interesting atmosphere. Awesome shot

I like this, especially the red lighting to right of the... I'm not sure what that is!? Anyway, Overall I do like this shot. Although the grass in the front left is kind of distracting to me, it seems as it is trying to take away focus on the main subject also theΒ lighting seems to be a bit bright in the left which is also kind of distracting as most of the view is darker. Maybe if the camera was a litter more above it could have cut out the grass a bit. But overall Great photo.

It's a lampion fruit. I've a description of the lightening process over at Yourshot - I thought it didn't really fit deviantART.
Good find with the grass! Even though adding additional depth and detail to the picture, it is rather distracting.
I think the strong light contrasts make the picture rather dramatic and highlight the structure of the shell well.
Thank you for your criticism!

This is a beautiful macro. I love the lighting, the center almost looks on fire.
