Jelly....

This IS what you do with your jelly before the kids can eat it right ?
.
This picture has me at logger heads with myself. It is SOOC and I love it but part of me says I should play around with it for a 'brighter' effect.
What would you do and how would you do it ? Suggestions most welcome. Thanks :))


Okay so with some advice I tweaked this photo and you can now view the tweaked version here -

I feel your pain Sharyn, as I'm so indecisive, but I really really love this shot, and would keep it as it, but if you're really unsure, perhaps play around with it......brighten it up, and put that into one of your other albums :-)

[Allison]

Fav'ing it too, so you have to keep it ;-)

[Sharon Lee]

Love this… Can't wait to see if you do play with the image :)

[Sue]

Really nice shot, love it the way it is!

[Dana]

This was a difficult choice. I like the reflection and the fact that you can see the whole spoon in this shot, but I like the colour and toxic glow of the green in the other shot !!

@allisonrap Thanks heaps Allison. I have played with it a bit but I still much prefer this one. You can see it in my other album. :))
@sugarmuser Thanks Sharon. I did have a play with it but still prefer this one.
@redpants Thanks Sue, me too.
@danacarruthers Thanks Dana, it's a pitty I don't know how to combine the two. The edit was tricky (for me with my lack of experience with edit programs). Thanks again.:))

[Sue Wilde]

Just leave it alone...I've just popped over to fav it.

[Genny]

I just love it the way it is.

[Simon]

@swilde Aww thanks Sue :))
@gennywren Thanks Genny, me to :))
@simon0128 Thanks Simon, and for the Fav too :))

[Tessa]

Love the lime jelly. With food we seem to see so many strawberries in mile etc. Great job.

[Jaap Meijer]

I really always process my pics in Photoshop Lightroom 4. But your SOOC is brilliant. I imported in LR and processed it as I would normally do.

I increased the contrast, lightened the shadows and increased the blacks. But anyhow, be proud on your SOOC!

[Kathryn]

Im not sure what photo editing you are using but it just means working with the darks/shadows or blacks. I like the first one's spoon and the second ones jello...I suppose you could always select the bright jello and put it in the darker spoon...but you wouldn't be working with one image.

[Leslie]

LOL - crazy how your life stops and starts when you spot something for 365 isn't it. I like your sooc better. Very creative.

[Alwyn]

I prefer this one - the col;ours are great

[Stuey]

definitely this one, other one looks too bright and over exposed to me. Great work here though.

@tesssa Thanks Tessa. I do like to be different, lol.
@katsamste Thanks Kathryn. appreciate the ideas.
@lesphoto It is crazy sometimes, thanks Leslie.
@alwyn255 Thanks Alwyn, I prefer it too :)

@djepie Thanks for the input Jaap. Not sure about your link - doesn't seem to be working (I am getting a butterfly photo). Appreciate the help all the same :)

[Caryn]

Hm...I don't know. I really like it like this. I like the light under the spoon.

[Jaap Meijer]

@sewsharyn Oops, that was a redo for Linda. The good link is http://jaapmeijer.com/images/2012/Sharyn.jpg

@cmc1200 Thanks Caryn. I much prefer it too :))

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

@djepie Thats great thanks Jaap. :))

[Pam]

I really like this one! Great reflection!

[Lara]

I like this one! Love the glow under the spoon and the green jelly. I also like the story attached to this one! I can just image some kids rolling their eyes at their mum!!!

[Kristin]

I like it SOOC!

[Catherine W.]

I like this one! Great job! Fav!!!

[ladyjane]

I think this is quite lovely as is! The green is so pretty and I like how it seems to glow from within.

[Nikki]

Fav.. Clever girl you!!

[Lynn]

I like this version better.

[Aaron]

This version is nicer, much richer. Great shot!

[Amanda L.]

I like this one best, too! So fun. How did you reflect it? What surface is it on? Great idea, lady. I've been on a green kick lately, too! One of my favorite colors:)! A fav!

[Sharyn's Shots シ]

@rah2012 lol, they did have a little chuckle. Thanks Lara.
@kph129 Thanks Kristin.

@ladyjane Thanks Jane.
@nikkic hehe, Thanks Nikki and for the fav :)
@mamalynn Thanks Lynn.
@grizzlysghost Thanks Aaron, much appreciated :)
@amandalomonaco Thanks Amanda and for the fav too. The spoon is sitting on a spare white gloss bathroom tile I have and the lighting helped with the reflection.

[Catherine W.]

Just saw this on pp!!! Congrats!!!!!

[Myrna O'Hara]

What a great creative idea. well done.

[Jennifer]

I like the Jello in the second but the rest of the photo in the first... maybe a 1/2 way point?
