O is for Orange

I tried my hand at shooting oil floating on water, but completely blew it. So a friend suggested I do oranges for my "O" word.

I like it! I worked on an oranges shot yesterday. Wasn't pleased enough to post. Yours works beautifully.

Really great depth of field here. Draws you right in. Blue goes very nice with orange... :-)

Love the light as it comes through the bowl. Very pretty.

@alisonp - I saw that! We'll have to try again another time. I was going to a meeting and I felt rushed.

[Alison]

@skipt07 I wasn't rushed ~ just rubbish at it LOL ... I am gong to try to follow this ... http://www.photographic.com/issue-10-photo-projects/032311oil/
@emrob ( http://365project.org/emrob/365/2013-01-09 ) had a great result following it

@alisonp - Here is a link that was posted on 365 last month. I tried this and I kept seeing the Pyrex on the bottom of the dish I was using. Plus my oil kept wanting to go back into one big drop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCYG7HO_SZo

Here is another 365ers http://365project.org/ltodd/365/2013-01-05

@skipt07 great thanks! ~ I will try all of them :-) .. .my oil just goes murky I am adding a drop of washing up liquid ~ no idea why ... maybe I shouldn't LOL

[Jennifer Ruge]

Great idea for the letter O. I'm glad you are doing this challenge too!

[Carren]

Lovely vibrant color! Great suggestion and nice shot!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

It's pretty! I could use a juicy orange right now! And it would probably help my cold/flu! Very pretty bowl too!

[❀ Lynn]

Lovely composition...like the shadow and light and the bowl!
