  • Yes, the fruit seems rotten to me. In Laos we have dragon fruit of this kind, and when the pulp is that color, it's only good for the garbage :-( But maybe this species is different. In any case, even the one at left really looks old and unattractive -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:38, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Basile Morin: ? The translucent/darker area just indicates it's getting overripe. It's sweeter, the texture isn't as firm, and the other flavors not as pronounced, but it's not much different than a brown spot on a banana. Personally, I prefer the firmer texture, so with this one, I ate part of it and used the rest in a smoothie. Definitely not rotten... not that this matters terribly to the quality of the image -- I guess just responding to encourage you not to throw them away when they're overripe. :) — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:31, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, overripe is maybe more appropriate than rotten, however overripe fruits are not very attractive IMO. Bananas like those for example wouldn't gain my support either, even if the picture was perfectly focus stacked. Also technically the multiple shadows are a bit distracting for a studio shot, diffuse lamps would have been better, with a perfectly white background -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:50, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
