 Shot in RAW with my Sigma Macro lens. Set up was simple - spritzed the apple with water then placed it on a piece of cardboard (purchased at WalMart - they have lots of colors). Lit with a flashlight over 20 seconds.

PP included levels/curves, Lucis Art (very very minimal layer), a couple of layers applied with generous eraser to remove strong highlights, gaussian blur, color balance, color saturation, sharpen, save for Web.

Beautiful colors. i like the lighter green near the apple a lot. The water on the apple looks very nice as well.

I love the soft background. I wish there was more water droplets around the bottom of the fruit so that it would look more natural. But it really is lovely.
