"Striking color with good contrast and a rippled reflection that adds an interesting texture."

Third: susan3032's Apple and Pear

"The resolution that is on the top of most people's lists! Amusing choice to use a pear and apple to represent the type of physical human figures most people want to reduce and the type of food we need to eat in order to do it. Simple, nice lighting and to the point. No need to guess what this image is all about."

Thank you so much for selecting my Apple & Pear! It was a nice Saturday surprise to see this. Gwen, your photo was fantastic and well deserved. It would have been my choice for 1st place, too - had I been a judge. Shellie - can you send me directions to the fountain of youth? I need it. Super shot. And to all the other entries - congratulations, too. I continue to learn from each and every one of the posts.
