Rick, I should say that the light made me immediately think about the autumn. Well done.

Re: PESO: Last Apples
Rick, I like seeing the baskets as part of the display. (It's hard to do an artistic shot.) I find the apple in the upper left corner of the front basket a bit distracting. The color seems to fade into the background...maybe just my monitor. Regards, Bob S.

Love an image which appears to reflect my vision of true-to-life color. Very well done!

Re: PESO: Last Apples
Not quite there for me. Not sure why, but the composition just doesn't do it. Maybe a different angle, or different amount of apples showing or something. I think you need to show more than one basket of apples and somehow the table to help convey the title you have picked. Maybe the fisheye zoom could have made this more interesting. -- Bruce Monday, January 15, 2007, 12:54:27 PM, you wrote: RW The last apples of the season, at the local farmer's RW market in mid-December.

Re: PESO: Last Apples
There is a nice luminous feel to the light and the apples are well presented, but the contrast is too great and the shadows too deep to my eye. It's a matter of taste, but if you pull it into Photoshop and give the shadows a healthy whack in adjustments-shadows and highlights you can make the light really sing. It's probably bad manners to adjust someone else's photo, but just to illustrate the point: http://www.markcassino.com/temp/apples.jpg Probably be a good idea to burn in the upper right corner if lightening it so much. Good eye to see the shot! - MCC Rick Womer wrote: The last apples of the season, at the local farmer's market in mid-December. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5458065 ist D, FA 16-45, ISO 200, 1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/8, RAW, minor adjustments in PE4.

Re: PESO: Last Apples
Thanks for all the comments! This was a difficult shot, because the market was crowded, there weren't many apples (what you see is what there was), and the apples were surrounded by clutter. I played with the shot a while, and tried the fisheye, but other shots worked less well than this one. What attracted me was the low, warm December light on the apples, and the deep shadows. I like what Mark did with the shot, except that it makes it look too much like September rather than December. Something in between would probably be ideal.

Ahhh - I did not understand the context for the shot (December light on the apples.) What I did was pretty extreme with the shadows and highlights tool (I was surprised it didn't take on an artifacted look) - but I'm glad it was a useful suggestion. I do like the basic composition - you manage to get a decent center of interest in the apples to the left foreground, even though the whole shot is apples. Which is good. - MCC -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo, Michigan www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
