Standing Out From the Crowd

The interplay of light and shadows gives context and meaning to an image.  This table sits by a window that allows direct sunlight only for a few months, each spring and fall.    I took this image last fall. Periodically, I look at it admiringly, then move on to something else.

It’s funny how we humans tend to add meaning where none actually exists.   The plum’s position is simply a matter of physics.   But when I look at it,  I see a possible metaphor for achievement or for crass self-promotion.   Of course, it can be nothing more than a plum that became the first to be eaten.   What do you see?
