| Set it up. Decided that the past-ripe cherry tomatoes I had would be a good subject. I tried photographing them inside, but I don't have an external flash and the incandescent light was really messing with the colors. So I went out on the sidewalk next to my apartment, squished a few, and started taking shots. It was difficult to fine a time when there weren't cars on the street or people walking by. DoF was fixed by the camera's 'macro' function, white balance was set to cloudy, it may be -0.6 EV. I got a few weird looks and some 'are you ok?'s. I liked the blue background, and the stop signs. |

| I really like the way the background has a blue look to it as it makes the subject of the picture stand out. |

| Very imaginitive setting for this still life. |

| Yep, that's a transition. Did you get some weird looks, maybe? |

| i like the texture and colour of the tomatos, i think i would have liked more focus on the seeds and squished one, but i really like it |

| I would have liked to have seen the background more blurred to give a better impact. Maybe even cropped tighter on the tomatoes |

| people might bust you on the white balance, but I think it works nicely with a blue cast. the depth of field is quite nice, but did you try it with a bit more depth? |

| I like the colours in this but feel it would have fitted the theme more if there had been a tomato that wasn't rotting. |
|

| I think this would have been better if you got sharper focus on some actual rot or mould. I'm in two minds about the blue colour balance; I think on balance it would have worked to get a more lurid colour out of the tomatos. |

| Mmmmmm.....lovely. Great shot with interpretation of the theme well thought out. |

| I liked this shot! A good idea, especially like the squashed one at the front. The colour contrasts really well with the background. |

| nice color, transition not apparent, maybe if there was a few fresh tomatoes |

| nice close-up, main subject focused just right |
|

| A very interesting and solid shot. I think I would have liked it a little better if the blue had been turned down a bit. Still, a great shot! |

| I like the composition but a different background might have been better suited for this, unles syou are trying to tell me that this town is rotting. :) |

| I like the tomatoes, but would have preferred less background |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 10:56:00 AM |
| Colors are a bit off, the background is too blue. The subject is nice though |
|
|
|

| Personally, I think I would have liked this more if the tones hadn't been quite so cool. |
|
|
|
04/22/2002 10:13:00 AM |
| contrast to high for my taste |
|
|
|

| good (but gross) find! Very well shot too - like the depth of field and the two 'stop' signs give a nice repeatition - was that deliberate or happy co-incidence ? Nicely done. |

| The color shift is disturbing to me. |

| very good idea by the photographer |

| I love it when we get on our hands and knees to get a good shot. This is great and it definetly fits the "Transitions" title. |

| Nice shot, I assume tomatoes, but these things look a little wicked to be tomatoes. :) |

| Very blue light, but good transition |
