Chestnuts X-ray mammography photo

I hav been looking forward to the mammography of these chestnuts a whole week. It was almost too late to find some specimen that had not yet been trampled or eaten. Once again it was helping hands that made this picture possible for me.

It was difficult to get an attractive composition. Indeed some skills have to be developed to place the chestnuts – because they really hurt. The sensor was too small to x-ray the whole composition at once. The solution was a mosaic with two tiles.

The result is convincing to me. The viewer may feel the thorns looking at the image.

I like to make things visible the naked eye isn't able to see. That's part of my profession as a radiologist, too.
