Challenge: Still Life III (Basic Editing)

Location: Corning NY
Date: Jul 22, 2007
Aperture: f16
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/50th
Galleries: Macro, Food and Drink

 Slice of Orange
Flashed white wall behind it with off camera flash and on camera flash with tissue over it to defuse but still trigger the slave. Just the right timing on the trigger finger to get the right 'drip'.

PP:
Croped
Adjusted colors
Sharpened ( Which strangely brought out more dark orange color around the edge of slice)
Added border

Have seen similar shot before.. the translucency of the orange is missing....

This is a very nice shot, but the droplets suggest movement which doesn't really fit the nature of a Still Life.

not a still life (i.e. a shot of motionless things), but a high-speed shot of a moving subject. lighting is too frontal and created distracting highlights and a flat looking surface. oversharpening created a halo around the orange slice and a n unsmooth gradient in the background. border is overdone IMO

Very nice

Would be really nice if there were more texture brought out in the pulp. Some backlighting would work, and not give you the glare.

A great shot, but not what I consider a "still life"
