Transparent and semi-transparent on white
Here are a few photos I made the other day of an octopus purchased at Your Dekalb Farmers Market. It's right around the corner from my studio and it's a great resource for fresh and interesting food fare. Check it out sometime on your way to class.

I'll be honest, this kind of freaks me out (totally not a seafood kind of guy) but I'd be remiss if I didn't request some detail about how you lit these shots.
Was the surface of the skin just naturally that slick & shiny or did you enhance that a bit (not with photoshop)?
For the last two shots (but the vase shot especially) - did you add anything extra to help the tentacle keep it's shape?
-B
Well, done. I love the sheen of the tentacle. I, too, am curious to how you got it to keep its shape in the vase.
I'll explain tonight in class if you want.
