 Just a simple subject. Had real trouble with the lighting and still not really happy with it; oh well, we'll see.

Shot in A-Dep mode for DoF and processed in CS3

post challenge:
thanks to everyone who took the time to vote and comment.

for some of the questions in the comments. it is a 6" chefs knife, (i also have a 10" carving blade). i guess it's a bad angle.
and the thing that's underneath it all is a large cutting block. handed down from my dad and is a large section of a tree trunk. great cutting block and i always think of cutting up fish that we'd catch near our house. i probably should've panned the shot out a bit more to get a better understanding of it all.

Whatever all that is lying on probably makes perfect sense to you, but I just can't figure out what it is, and that confuses me. :)

Creative shot, but the carving knife and sharpener wouldn't be used by a true chef to cut peppers! The red is also washed out. I didnt vote low but not high either.
