A growing onion Allium cepa.
Alternate A growing onion on a white background. Notice the depression in the bulb, caused by emptiness resulting from the respiration of glucose stored which releases energy for the growth process.

Good quality and encyclopedic value.

Have you tried putting a lamp behind the white background? Not only might you get some attractive rim light, but (assuming the light is bright enough) you'll get a pure white background, which is more attractive than the uneven gradients here. Of course, you could try to do that in Photoshop, too. Thegreenj 00:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I hadn't thought of that. But the onion is now gone :( Any way this could be fixed? Muhammad(talk) 11:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Put the back light farther away and make it dimmer, if possible. What I'd do would be to prop the background up on a small table in the middle of a dark room, place the back light on the ground around 2m away with a sheet of paper taped over it, and use flash the expose the front. If you have time and lots of lamps, you could try a Three-point lighting setup. Thegreenj 14:48, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Oh, and don't forget to use manual exposure. Thegreenj 15:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
