Great idea! Love the different fruits and veggies. A little bright in some places though. Really like the way you removed all the color except the objects of importance.

Very nicely setup. Well composed and sweet idea. At least no one is jumpin off a roof this time. Love the use of B&W with color. Nice work.

we meet again Cooley? This is you trade mark now: floating fruits and veggies, top hat and sepia...oh and your daughter ;) Not as impressed with this one though. It's good but not a good as previous work. THe lighting isn't great which makes everything look flat, but maybethat's what you wanted. 7

A very creative and good composition! But it is the expression on the model that has me wondering: "Should the magician be surprised at the magic he/she casts from their own hands or should they have a cool & composed mysterious look about them as they cast their magic?" I don't know but it is one thing that makes me pause as I look upon this photo. Heh, you know what I just realized? You almost followed an artist's color wheel pattern! Had you positioned the yellows together to fade into the oranges then fade into the reds you would have a perfect fruit & vege color wheel! O.K. tones are very good with the small exception that the sleeve & hand of the foreground arm blends in a tad too well with the outstretched arm. Not sure how to correct it to make them a little more distinct in tones - a tiny bit of dodging mayhap??? The colors of the fruits and vegetables really pop off the page. The striped wallpaper as the backdrop is a tad distracting to the main composition as a whole. But in an odd way it can help add to the illusion of that of a magician standing on a 'curtained' stage performing his/her magic tricks.

nice idea, but it's obvious the fruits and veggies are photos sticked to the backdrop - it's the missing shadow. banana and broccoli are very pale, too.
