For this assignment John (neuroanatomist) has selected the following subject: Sharpness!


Assignment description by John:


"No, not that kind (even though I don't mind staring at ISO 12233
charts!). The subject of this assignment is, literally, things that are
sharp. Subjects must have an edge or point that is able to cut or
pierce something. A few small examples below, one each from animal
(broad-winged hawk), vegetable (rose bush in the garden), and mineral
(Wüsthof bread knife)."





The following photos have been selected as favorites, it's now up to you to vote for the best!
