Original - Purple mangosteen fruit (Garcinia mangostana), together with its cross section. Only the white aril is edible.
Edit 2 - Focused stack–overall fruit is sharper than original single shot; with scale added.
Reason
Almost all pictures of purple mangosteens on Wikipedia are of a poor quality, so I thought I'd take one that is. High resolution, detail and EV of an unusual fruit.

I have used the software suggested by Noodle snacks. The fruit was just ripe to me, not overripe – well, it didn't taste overripe. Unfortunately, I do not have any more fruits left and I was told that they are not in season. So, I can't take any more shots showing more of the top as suggested. If it is not good enough, then I will have to wait until I can get another fresh supply, but I don't know how long that will be. S Masters (talk) 05:14, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the stacked version, if compared to the original at same sizes(v2 is much lower res than original), the original seems sharper to me. --Muhammad(talk) 06:30, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The res is the same. The canvas size is slightly smaller as I made it around the same size as the FP Image:Sugar apple with cross section.jpg, for consistency. S Masters (talk) 06:46, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The aspect ratio may be the same but the canvas size refers to the resolution. V2 is much better done so I will not oppose but I am still not completely satisfied with the angle and ripeness. If in the future you happen to get less ripened ones please consider a re-shoot. Thanks --Muhammad(talk) 13:07, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
