Save referenceCuriosity Gap
The left photo makes no sense on its own, dark seed-covered balls on sticks. The right is a neat little green tree. The arrow claims one became the other, and because you cannot picture the steps, the click fills the gap.
Title
The title names the unlikely source, dragon fruit, and stamps the result as unique.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail shows two states that look unrelated, joined by a single arrow.
Use this when your before and after look like different worlds. Let the strange starting state do the pulling and keep the steps hidden. The wider the gap between the two photos, the harder the arrow works.
The stranger the before, the harder the arrow works.

Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
