Wooden fruit

Another go at low key stuff.
I've been having a few issues with trying to get this to look the same way here as it does on my image viewer, so if anyone's happened to spot it popping on and off their home pages, please excuse me.

This is a wonderful low key shot. Good job.

[Carole Imes]

No problem here and this is a great low key shot, Alison. Well done and what interesting wooden fruit.

Very nice capture. Gorgeous wooden fruits. Where are they from?

Really brings out the beauty of the wood grain. Nice comp

[elkehochban]

Oh, this is really nice! fave

[elkehochban]

Had to come back and say - it really should be seen large. It's really stunning against the black!

[Hamble]

Loving your low key stuff. I was intrigued! I had to look at the info to see what settings you used.

[Jean Tookey]

A lovely low key shot. Those fruits look good against the black.

[carol white]

A beautiful low key shot,great textures in the wood!!

[Milanie]

Elkehochban is definitely correct - outstanding when enlarged! Great detail to the fruit is such a subtle way.

[Robin]

This looks so good. All that work was worth it. Especially good with the magnifier. Fav.

[Janet]

The low key is so effective, it looks like an Old Master! I like the markings on the wood.

[Matt Clendon]

I like the low key shots. It's good to explore new techniques.

[Brian Baptie]

Such a wonderful low key shot Alison. Well done.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture of these works of art. Love the knot in the wood on the pear.

[Claire]

Very nice, like this

Great lighting. Nice shot.

@anazad511 Thank you Ana.
5 or 6 times a year there are craft fairs held in fields not far from us and several wood turners sell their products. They all make these pieces of fruit and I occasionally see a piece I particularly like and buy it. They are approximately 3 inches - 8cm - tall and are reasonably priced.

@dulciknit - oh i love craft fairs and have gotten so many things in them. Actually this weekend there is one of the largest and I'm anxiously waiting for it. Those wooden fruits are so pretty; take good care of them.

[elkehochban]

Congrats on making the PP!

[Jen Hudson]

This is beautifully done. Great low light effect and superb against the black background. The wood textures and design and well shown even in the low light. I have a couple of wood turned fruit but not with the lovely decoration on them.

[Gloria]

Beautiful

[Celia Leaberry Gould]

I think this is wonderful. It looks like something from one of the old Dutch Masters.
