This image was inspired by the works of Sanchez Cotan who was a 17th century painter who painted many still life constructions.

In this time period fruit and veg was hung up in the pantry to stop it from going bad so quickly so many still life paintings of this period would have hanging vegetables and fruit in them.

I have changed the image to black and white to create a different effect.

Image taken with a Nikon D90 using a 35-70 Nikkor lens the lighting was a single Bowens studio light with a black background I also used a 09 ND filter to further blacken the background area.
