When in doubt (and the weather's dodgy) reach for the extension tubes!
Great fun and most interesting. Technique's good, too!

The second one is nail clippers taken on the bathroom shelf in broad daylight. The very bright reflection made the camera under expose.
The dust spot is top right of the bright rectangle. I missed it

Perhaps something to do with being a mouldy carrot? Somehow not fond of the first one but that second one is really good.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It could be that, it could be me not getting the point of the nail through it.
From the composition it should be nice enough, there is some interesting subject in it, it is focussed well enough, the lighting is good... Somehow it doesn't have an impact on me.
The second one is in a different league altogether for me.

Carrot - carrot! It's a satsuma! There I am sweating away for hours creating and it's seen as a carrot. Someone else said it was a screw as well.
The idea of the nail and the fruit was to get contrast in texture, form and colour. I also loved the way the mould was that pallid blue.
I think the orange isn't quite pushy enough so I may rework it a bit.
Thank you both for your comments.

I thought it was a slice of carrot with a mouldy core

I feel a bit like Hercule Poirot trying to guess what these excellent images are whilst trying to avoid reading everybody else's post
The past the 'sell by date' squashed fruit simply jumps out of the screen at you with that splash of colour. Nice contrast of texture with the mouldy areas.
My favourite though is the second image, very low key and dark with an intriguing shape disappearing out of focus. Very nice.
