Lovely! These plants are just made for fill-the-frame-with-pattern images. I love the lines and the curvy outlines - and the raindrops just add to the beauty.

Beautiful still life processing.

They look like they are made from pie plate foil. What an interesting effect.

Comment by Ann:
The oranges and the basket look great. Maybe a little darker than the ones in the stores out here, but the texture is great on them, and they're really believable looking. The processing is maybe a bit heavy handed on the apples, unless the apples are badly bruised. It's kind of like when you go to a museum and look at some still life from the 1600's that has food in it, and realized that they probably really did eat that disgusting dead pheasant.

Oh, what a still life!
I just wished you had more background, esp. at left ,right and top and less uniform sharpening and luminosity of the apples

I would have never guessed straws - thought they were melting pipes of some kind! Nice that you have an actual camera club, too!

Fun. Detail Extractor does interesting things.

Luck... It's an HDR of two images then processed in Nik Color Effects. The Details Extractor filter gave most of the texure/metallic look.

Very nice - I like it a lot. How did you get the metallic look?
