Challenge: Fruits and Vegetables (Classic Editing)
Camera: Casio QV-4000
Location: Home
Date: Sep 6, 2002
Aperture: f/2.3
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/30
Date Uploaded: Sep 6, 2002

This photo was done in very low light. I pointed a lamp to a yellow cardboard on the right side to create this yellow tint. The overall reddish colour comes from (intentionally!) leaving my camera in "night" white balance mode. I didn't use a tripod, that's why the photo is quite unsharp but I think it does no harm for this kind of photo.

excellent work with the lighting :) I love the soft yellow glow on this photo... I would like to see the fruits play a little more prominent role in the image... good work :) = 7 - jmsetzler

Nice lighting and the colour ties everything together. I think the arrangement of the objects bay have been stronger, or maybe better if they were limited... just a thought!

hm. i'm not sure what to make of your photo. so let me start with the things i like. the lighting is very nice, i like all the warm tones, and the black background is great, too. the candle is the brightest object in the photo, and therefore to me the main object, not the fruit. and i don't think i'm quite getting the reason for why you put the objects into the photo that you did, but that is probably just me. so, technically a good photo, you would've scored higher though if the fruit was more of the central object in my opinion. -- gr8photos (5)

Quite the array of stuff in this picture - not sure how it's all related. Guess the photo title is the clue? Nice focus and color on the items in front. Some may say the background is a little dark, but I think it works well enough in this photo.

Cropped the top of the object on the left, that bothered me. Lighting is moody, but why?

Good shot over all. 6

This is unique...I bet NO ONE will have an arrangement like it! You score high for originality! Very mood provoking! Has an nostalgic feel... Nice!

Good luck in the challenge! Grayce...aka...Gracious

Very nice arrangement with a "Renaissance" mood. I like how you've controlled the lighting to enhance the mood.

Way to many inrelated elements (sorry, if this is a collection of some religious ceremonial significance)ad they crowd the boarders. Lose the sea shell, he doesn't belong and he;s too bright, leave the brightness off the the candle/ Try to make it look like the really is candle is the only light source which means fix the lighting on that nut or fig. ANd give the sculpture things room to breathe at the top. It doesn't contribute to the composition to have them cut off.

Really neat shot, but it's so very dark. The brass item has lost much of it's detail, esp. in the center of the circle, same for the statue figurine, and the item on the far right of the candle is ...what? 7 Swash

I think this might be a bit underexposed but still a pretty good shot.

Seems a little busy to me. Perhaps fewer accessories would improve the overall photo. Quite diverse!
