superb perspective and intelligent cropping. The vibrant colours perfectly complement the symmetry and flow of this. love it.

An Apple for My Pretty
by Ivory

Comment:
a very nice image with lots of impact. Partial desaturation isn't my favourite technique, but it seems to work well enough on this one. the little bits of colour left in the hand detract from the impact a bit, as does the slight oversaturation of the reds. I'd also like to see the catchlights on the apple a diffused a little so they're less prominent. Other than that I think you made a very nice image. The concept is well thought out and executed.

Refreshing!

a nice clean capture - good focus with only a few hotspots from the flash. I believe a lightly looser crop would increase the impact by adding a little context, and it seems your white balance was off a little, as the entire image seems to have a pinkish hue to it. I'd have thought it was just the colour of the background, but when i see it in the 'whites' in the lemon too, I'm lead to believe it's the white balance.

overall i think you made a nice image, and that's a great looking splash :)

Avo Couture

Comment:
Nice use of vegetables AND a fruit. solid lighting, and sharp focus. the reds seemed to get a little oversaturated in parts of the lipstick, so they lose their texture a bit, but that's minor. a great entry, should score well with the DP crowd.

Rescripting Nightmares

@Roz - it's a Quadtone - mine adapted from Ken Lee's (random aside - I talked to Ken over the weekend...what a great guy - his personality seems as brilliant as his quadtones ;))

I like the depth the additional colours give it...though on the less accurate monitor of my laptop the colours are far more pronounced and doesn't look nearly as rich as on my PC. As a pure duotone it didn't seem to have the same eerie quality it found like this. I appreciate the input though, Mark - many thanks :)
