Description Just experimenting with fruits, and what cuts can do, with some light.
Not sure if it was the right framing or the right font though.

What do you think?

love the tiny reflections on the apple's skin, and the beautiful play of colors and subtle green tones

I was poking around through your gallery for something to catch my eye... and this certainly did...

it's extremely pro... I'd expect to see it on a billboard in Times Square...

favorite!

not sure if anyone said this already, but...
choose a font that's simple, like the picture itself. nothing too bold or fancy/intricate, or "cutesy". just an ordinary, fine font.

font maybe too simple for me.. my attention was drawn to the texture of the white matt the fruit was on.. which isnt good.. it shouldnt be that textured.. i like the texture of the fruit and the effect the cutting and the light had on it but.. its taken away by what it is on..

as had been said already....WOW
I spend a hell of a lot of time looking a 3d images, a lot of the people do lighting experiments with friut...this looks soooo much better . the colour is excellent and the resolution is fine IMO.
this could just be me getting sentimental in my old age but the first 2 slices look heart shaped and the rest morph it into an apple, works very well with the red

The boarder doesn't look too bad, but it might be worth seeing what it looks like with the colours inverted or with a gradient the oposite of the main image.

lovely image all round tho

Your ideas are so original. i love your gallery. i tried this with oranges once... but i suck at peeling =x

aquilier In reply to xenologics [2003-09-22 09:50:31 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I'm not toosure about that. Are they in your gallery? Actually I think orange must be easier to peel then apples.

When I start to do more fruit series, I think I am gonna try out with orange and lime, lemo and grapefruite... Could be interesting...

Hehe, yes I do! Food makes interesting objects!! So many colors, and you can play with them just as much as you'd like, and actually make people want it!

It's great!

tompapa [2003-09-09 23:32:36 +0000 UTC]

The lighting is excelent, i would like to know how you did it. The dark, almost black shadows provide for alot of contrast, although i wish that the center of the apple ( not being the skin or stem) was more of a white than a green, and there was no textured area near the bottom. The gradient at the top has a fair bit if saturation to it, but either than that, very nice composition. Looks very professonal.

Nice original idea... the only thing that I would want to see changed is the background - it just seems so plain. but other than that, everything else is just great! MmmMMMmMM.... apples...

Thanks!! The reason the background is so simple, is that - that plain empty canvas was everything I had at the moment to use... Sorry for that, and I do agree - It does look plain

I can assure you that the frame is great, focus is also where it should be. A little grainy background though, but it's not too much...

That's it, I'm putting you on my watch

This is about textures and shapes and hidden harmonic vectors... I must say I love your apple photos this one is a great yet simple idea. The rich texture of the ground and that on the apple are very detailed and they contrast with the homogenic texture of the skin and the background, making this photo, in fact, a kind of checkers board, a contrast geometrically arranged with the other... Interesting, i love this photo...

sunnie [2003-05-24 18:27:35 +0000 UTC]

The framing is right, although I'm not convinced by the font. However, that doesn't matter. The photo is great, it looks like such a nice apple, such a lovely colour. The light you've got exactly right, and I love the way the background softens behind it.

The colour's really vibrant...i love the lighting as well, though i'm not too sure about the border...i think it could've been made slightly thinner...but other than that...everything's looking good...*nods*

btw, apples look sooo sexy when cut like that

depjalo [2003-05-17 00:53:32 +0000 UTC]

not that you could have controlled it, but i think it would have been nicer if the inside wasnt just so yellow.. damn you apples and your yellowing!

chain [2003-05-16 21:44:08 +0000 UTC]

the font is nice, suits the image, but there is a way to large space between "delightf" and "ul"... (place the marker between the letters, hold in the alt-key and use your arrow-keys to adjust it fast in photoshop)..

Anyway, the Photo is really good! Very lovely color too. One of your better submissions!
