This is the first proper macro shot I have taken with my Tamron 90mm, apart from a rushed entry to one of the weekly comps. It's a rambutan fruit, or hairy lychee. Doesn't taste as nice as normal lychees by the way!

Nice detail! I've always thought they were a bit weird looking.

Agree that normal lychees taste better, plus the flesh doesn't all get stuck to the seed!

Are the rambutans over there not very red? The ones I've had (usually Thailand and Malaysia) have a rich blood red skin with green tendrils.
