Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: First Entry (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D300s
Lens: Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM for Nikon
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Date: Jul 19, 2010
Aperture: F6.3
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/125
Galleries: Still Life, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Jul 18, 2010

 The Image: Haven't entered as regularly as I would have liked. Falling a bit behind. I looked at my very first entry and wondered how much my life in photography changed since that day on January 9, 2006 thanks to dpchallenge.



I thought I would stick to a simple, high key food shot that contained nice details in the oysters.

The Edit: A bit of tweaking with colour balance, levels, Topaz Adjust, sharpening and blurring all done as adjustment layers in PS.

The Prediction: Will it even reach 6? Maybe 5.9

hotpasta's first entry, a great example of food photography but I do fins the glasses etc too subdued for my liking - also remove the pip from that lemon :)

Excellent photo, worthy of any food magazine.

Great shot and composure. Even though you probably left it in there intentionally, I think there's a stone in the right lemon that I can't stop looking at.

MUCH better than the original. A bit overprocessed and dark on the oysters, though.
