Ten little 'Toms'

I think I’ll go back to basic photography! Not using apps to enhance or make better.

These are tomatoes bought locally! They fitted in this wooden dish so well that even John remarked on how neatly they looked!

Three good Things;
1. Looked at our future English visit in late June and now that my mother’s travels have been published, being in Manchester offered a great opportunity to go round the coast of Wales as she did! The towns are hard to pronounce!
2. One of our hottest days so far in summer and so delightful!
3. NZ’’ers have got together and bought a beach!

Beautiful, no processing needed. Glad to hear that you had a warm summer day.

Just hope we don't all visit our beach on the same day.. Will be exciting to trace your Mothers footsteps later in the year.. very perfect little tom's..

[PTP: Past their Prime]

[ChristineL]

Perfect fit and a great image.

[LaLa]

[Maggiemae]

@pasttheirprime Thanks PTP - have done that!

[KWind]

Very nice! I like the red... it kind of glows!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Almost like a box of red eggs! xx

[Lainey1]

Lovely shot.

[Beryl Lloyd]

The look lusciously red and tasty !! Hope you will have good weather (we can not promise !! ) when you come to the UK and to travel the costal area of Wales.

[Maggiemae]

@beryl It will be towards the end of June so fingers crossed!

[Irene]

They are luscious looking. Only the Welsh can pronounce Welsh names properly!

[Maggiemae]

@kelly2 I'll look forward to that delightful Welsh accent!

[ShirleyB]

Nice shot, the lighting is lovely

[gloria jones]

Great shot, pov. lighting

[Bep]

Nice shot. Nice to read that you're going to visit Wales. We've spent several holidays there.

[Phil Howcroft]

lovely reds and a nice composition Maggie

[Julie Duncan]

It's lovely!

[Julie F]

Bore da (good morning in Welsh). These toms look ripe and juicy, shame to eat them to spoil the display.

[Maggiemae]

@jaffacakes Ten little toms - - and now there are nine!

[katy]

I really like the simplicity of this and the fact that it is NOT processed with lots of apps. Great color and POV, Maggiemae!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn I did try with some odd effects then decided nothing is as good as the colour and shape of a real tomato! I had exploding tomatoes (very messy!), ethereal tomatoes, tomatoes in a brick wall! Hey Ho!

[Daisy Miller]

Great shot. I love the red on the black background. a fav

[Peter Dulis]

Love it - fav

[Elizabeth]

[Dianne]

[Glendq]

[Barb]

simple but really effective. Lovely shot Maggie

[Margaret Obey]

Ten Tasty Little Toms! Love them

[Lee]

Lovely rich red. I don't think you can beat the smell of tomatoes growing on the vine.

[richard saffold]

this could be a billboard advertisement.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely uniform capture, there are a few tomato sandwiches there.

[Ann Williams]

A perfect way to show off your tomatoes. They would win first prize in a show I think! Great idea and so well photographed.

[Gillian]

Lovely tomatoes!

[Velina]

Wonderful POV

[Paula W]

Great colour and I like the uniformity.

[Tony]

Almost like eggs in a carton. Love the simple subject. Great capture

[Stephanie Swift]

These are so perfect, they hardly look real. Love them from this pov. Fav for me.

[Tom]

Lovely, wonderful use of the light , and a very rich and deep color

[Sandy]

Lovely colorful still life. Those tomatoes just pop against the black background. Wish I could figure out how to get a black background.

[Maggiemae]

@skstein Try fiddling around with the exposure tending towards lighter then increase the contrast afterwards!

[Laura]

This is lovely!

[Krista Marson]

nice foodie still life

[Nina Ganci]

super title and capture
fav

[Liana Bull]

Nice composition. I like all your 3 good things. Especially the beach as I have many fond memories of many times spent at Awaroa. Your trip planning sounds interesting. We are off on a 4 month trip in mid--June too so our planning is starting too. Exciting times.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I love this! It's very refreshing and vibrant looking. Great shot!

[Kim Harper]

I missed this one - great simplicity of the red Toms so neatly packaged for their photo! I agree on less use of apps - I'm a bit more of a purist I suppose.
