Hi Folks:

My first post to a challenge!

Thanks for all the wonderful shots! A joy to see them all. Here's a young onion... interrupted:

EXIF: D40, ISO 200, 55mm, f/7.1, 1/640, handheld, manual, no flash

Shot sort of as a micro-stock attempt.

Thanks,

Scampi

An assortment of heirloom tomatoes from my garden...pink brandywine, black Russian, black cherry, Hawaiian cherry, to name a few...YUM!

Peeperita, I love those Bananas! And the background is just astounding. The folds and the lighting are, just like the banana, delicious. Thank you. So, how did you do it?

Lanline, thanks!

Thanks,

Scampi

Yum indeed! Love those tomatoes. Beautiful, great leading the eye, with pattern, size, color, and desire! : )

Thanks,

thanks scampi....i appreciate your kudos....

that's a green table cloth masking taped to my counter, back splash and cabinets by the sink...part of the lighting was from the kitchen window and the other from directional spots in the ceiling....the bulbs threw a yellow cast over everything....

i used a tripod and no flash...and bracketed like a fool....

post processing was levels, USM, a posterized layer slipped in the middle because my bananas weren't ripe enough..several layers with different blending modes and opacities....and lastly...a vignette.....

i'm glad you liked it....

I think they're wild grapes.
