Artificial

I don't think I'll be sinking my teeth into this fruit. Wood and plastic aren't that appetizing to me!
no but very colorful

@sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry! I don't offer it to my guests either!
April 12th, 2012  
Lol! But they look very real!

@potsbypam lol Pam- you might be able to chew the grapes. They're plastic but I don't think they'd be that tasty! The rest is wood!

@mrssmith Looks can be deceiving!! Thanks Carla!

Not too tasty but very colorful!!
April 13th, 2012  
Nice soft colors, and they do look tempting though, especially to kids
April 13th, 2012  
Oh my can just see a child biting into one..there goes the tooth..nice colorful picture though Ann.
April 13th, 2012  
Love the processing!
April 13th, 2012  
It looked appetizing and then I read your description. :( Too bad you can't eat it
April 13th, 2012  
they looked so real, don't they? i could've shot a pic of an artificial flower arrangement found in dollar stores, but i really couldn't bear to look at those things. great shot for the theme, ann. i like it.

@twinsplusone Thanks Sharon- yes very colorful!
@digitalrn Thanks Rick! My granddaughter likes to play with them but she knows not to eat them.
@bruni Thanks Bruni! Fortunately they are out of reach for most children so we haven't had a problem with that- so far!
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen- went with something simple this time- just Orton.
@kimmistephens Thanks Kimmi! Yes- they look good in the picture!
@summerfield My first choice was some of the fake flowers I have scattered around but one bouquet I shot was too blurry and the other was too dusty! And I was too lazy to redo or dust, so I went with plan B. lol Thanks Vikki!
April 13th, 2012  
Well .... the processing is beautiful! And the colors ... but the flavor is questionable. :)

This reminds me of the bowl of artificial fruit that my Mom had on the kitchen table while I was growing up
April 13th, 2012  
Lovely capture and processing, Ann.
April 13th, 2012  
I agree, I much prefer the fresh fruit.
April 13th, 2012  
Looks so real with soft focus
April 13th, 2012  
lovely colours lovely shot

Bev
I dunno... If you're hungry enough, you might eat just about anything. Love the shot. If you hadn't said it wasn't real, I wouldn't have guessed.
April 13th, 2012  
@karenann lol Thanks Karenann!
@bkbinthecity Thanks Brian!
@sangwann Thanks Dione!
@nicolecampbell Thanks NIcole! Yes, fresh is ALWAYS better!
@peterdegraaff Thanks Peter! I thought so too- but the stem of the red apple is a good clue- it doesn't look natural.
@steeler Thanks Howard!
@prttblues lol Bev- I suppose you could dip them in chocolate...
April 13th, 2012  
Looks like a painting. Love the effects, Ann. A work of art!
April 13th, 2012  
A very nice photo! I love this. I think this would be printed and on my wall if this were mine. The saturation and composition are fantastic! Great job with the processing!
April 13th, 2012  
@cimes1 Thank you Carole!
@sharritta Thank you Sharon!
I never really know what I will end up with when I start fiddling with the processing and effects. I had to do an arrow shot and ended up sort of reversing the idea when I made the arrow the effect instead of the subject. So glad you both liked it so much! And Sharon, I'd be glad to send you the jpg if you really want it!
April 13th, 2012  
@cimes1 @sharritta haha- just realized I talked about the wrong picture!! Oh well- not paying attention again! Yes, this one was pretty simple- the Orton effect to soften the edges of the wooden fruit, that's all.
April 13th, 2012  
ooh, interesting shot
April 13th, 2012  
Lovely colours!
April 13th, 2012  
@wardie Thanks Paul!
@paulavdmerwe Thanks Paula!
So appreciate your nice comments!!
April 14th, 2012  
You had me fooled until I read your comment then did a double-take on the grapes!! Lovely soft shot
April 15th, 2012  
@filsie65 lol Phil- I know- after I took the shot and softened it I thought "Boy if I didn't know better I'd think those grapes were real!"
April 15th, 2012  
very soft and sunny and happy colors
April 28th, 2012  
@crickle1969 thanks Chrystal- just look though- those colors will crack your teeth if you try to eat them!
