Kohlrabi

A tribute to the heavy German influence in Milwaukee... Kohlrabi. This german turnip was growing in my wife's garden, and it made a nice father's day present. The leaves are colorful with their deep-purple veins. It makes me wonder if everything in Wisconsin starts with "Kohl"... senators, toilets, department stores, and now vegetables.
Shot with:
- Nikon D700 camera, 105mm f/2.8 macro lens
- 105mm, f/3.3, 1/125 sec, ISO 1250
Processed with:
- Photoshop to crop, boost contrast/saturation, unsharp mask

PS. Wifey just updated me... it's cabbage. Not Kohlrabi. So much to learn...

  1. In his defense, the kohlrabi is right next to the cabbage in the garden. So he didn't completely make it up. :)
