Carrot Anyone? by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Carrot Anyone?

Inspired by @northy who makes this sort of photograph look effortless- well it isn't!!!

Well it's a good try. I agree though, northy does make one feel a bit inadequate!! Great use of colour here, the orange really pops

@suesouthwood thank you Sue, hope she doesn't mind my copying her ( so badly!!)

:-) always hard to do a northy. trust me and believe me. i have made a few tries and mine always ended up looking like the poor relations on the other side of the track. but she would tell you that she does an enormous amount of post processing on her stuff before they look magnificent to our eyes. but trust me, it is the most difficult thing to emulate. i think there should be a new challenge called "the northy challenge".

Thanks Vikki @summerfield . My processing skills are v limited and I need to teach myself what to do. Hope she won't mind my poor attempt to show off a carrot's glorious colour!!
PS is your new flat feeling like home now last box unpacked??

Very cool shot and I love the reflections.

You have done so well! I wouldn't know where to start. Great reflections and colours.

@megpicatilly B&W paper, plastic mirror, thin carrot slice and playing with apertures and a little tweaking of colour and exposure using Ribbet.com. Thank you for your lovely comet x
@mittens thank you, couldn't get reflections to focus!!!

Fav for me...ok, ignoring the northy references bacause her shots are another league entirely, I think this is very impressive. I really like how your vertical lines vary in width and angle and your carrot somehow has a lot of character...especially for a carrot!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thank you Jackie I will have to give it a go. It is so effective.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond what a picture. You must appreciate now how much time and effort is involved in achieving such "simple" shots. Well done.
