Brightest highlights slightly blown-out, but that's beautiful lighting overall. I'd like to see a version using a "print-type" duotone using black and a light peachy color

Nice job making a portrait usinf a "cold" color...I think it's harder to make look good.

Nice composition...leaves on the left look a bit oversharpened to me.

Tomato On The Vine

Comment:
I suspect that on the photographer's monitor (as on mine) those tomatoes look predominantly red, not orange, nicely complementing the green stems, a true compliment to their ability to control the lighting and exposure.

I guess we must start a forum thread about the exact wavelength/RGB values demarcating the boundary between red and orange. However, since I myself am red/green color-blind (see my entry) I will recuse myself from that discussion...

In line with the other comments, try cropping just below the logo on the ball-return -- I think it makes a much stronger image.

You're most welcome -- it's kind of fun to try and work with something other than my own stuff sometimes...

If you just remember to use layers and save often, you can experiment away non-destructively and in different combinations and have a lot of fun!

I could copy this if I had one of those hand-held computers...

Regardless of the mat color, that's a very nice digital framing job -- good overall presentation. I think your exception to the "level horizon rule" is effective here.

I did see the color version and like it a lot too. Hope I get to go to this place someday...

Not only a pretty good picture but looks like a pretty refreshing recipe as well...
