Few fruits reveal their structure as plainly as an apple sliced through the middle, and this picture makes the most of that. The cut exposes the five-chambered core at the center, with the seeds sitting in their papery pockets, a layout that reflects the flower the fruit grew from. Apples have been cultivated for thousands of years, and cross-sections like this one turn up often in still-life studies and cookbooks, where the round body and star-shaped core are easiest to see from the side. Look at how the light falls across the pale flesh and the soft edges of the skin.
