Cabbage is my new favorite vegetable. Cauliflower, on the other hand, I just don't know any more.

Lovely! I like the subtle glow of the brussel sprout.

Interesting, but no thank you. I prefer my vegetables fresh, but not glowing.

I love the smooth lines of the fennel and the colour of the dragonfruit. Gorgeous

I'd love to see these in other wavelengths, like IR, UV, and soft X-ray.
