Apples and Sunset

NJMAN · Oct 20, 2007

The apples are still ripe for the picking where I am. Had to catch a shot at sunset to see what they look like up close. C&C welcome. Thanks for looking. Much appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Well done.

I like it NJ, nice.

I like it as well. The picture would look great framed in a kitchen with a "country" theme. At least that's where this picture seems to take me.

I wonder what it would've looked like with just a bit of water sprayed on the leaves and apples.

Very nice. I agree that this would be perfect for framing in a country home. If our kitchen was themed "country", I'd sure buy one from you.

Thank a lot everyone for the very kind words!

Thats a great idea Ryan. I will have to remember that for another shot sometime. Thanks!

NJ I really like the idea but I do think the apples needed a fill in light. I think a tungsten bulb would have cast a lovely golden light onto the apples to perfect the shot, possibly a gold reflector.

was thinking the same thing, the shot is well composed and exposed but the apples look a little flat....I was also thinking maybe a little selective saturation would make them shine a bit.
