Strangers in the night

Not really sure what I was going for here. It's more experimental than anything else.

I like fruit baskets because it gives you the ability to mail someone a piece of fruit without appearing insane. Like, if someone just mailed you an apple you'd be like, 'huh? What the hell is this?' But if it's in a fruit basket you're like, 'this is nice!'

Hey, welcome back! A mushroom bum, now some apples but I am secretly hoping for some woodland creatures! ;)

Surely, mushroom bum trumps gnarly old wood creature? :)
January 10th, 2013  
Well now if I get an apple in the mail I will say, Hey Matt, Thanks. LOL. I'm sure the wood creatures will begin popping up in the near future.
January 10th, 2013  
Did you add a texture to this one?
January 10th, 2013  
Cool processing, Matt! I would love to see some of your wood creatures too! I've missed them! :0)
January 10th, 2013  
this is pretty darn cool looking! so glad you are back!
January 10th, 2013  
Great processing, very artsy Matt.
January 10th, 2013  
Great composition....looks like a painting you've gone and wiped up for us.
January 10th, 2013  
There are apples because I am not there, otherwise they would have been abducted.
January 10th, 2013  
@slang @jgoldrup True, it does look somewhat like a painting that's been slightly wiped. It's just a texture overlay which I thought might give the whole composition a bit more atmosphere.

@digitalrn Okay, so that's (atleast) one apple in the post to Rick.
January 11th, 2013  
I may be missing the mark here, but it seems that I can't see the forest for the apples?
January 11th, 2013  
Actually, I meant to type 'whipped'...a painting you whipped up for us. But I'm impressed that you still managed to interpret my comment!
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 Paula, not sure what you mean. The title? I just meant they are strange looking apples in the dark - which ended up being strangers in the night (as strangers in the dark didn't sound right somehow) Hope that explains.
January 11th, 2013  
@sabresun On those apples, are there not images? Or am I just seeing things. I see trees. Am I crazy?
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 You see trees? Now I'm really confuzzed.
January 11th, 2013  
@jgoldrup There's nothing like comments for clarity. I do what I can. :P
January 11th, 2013  
@sabresun Top right apple. Look closely.
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 You must have a better eye for trees than I do. Can't see it, but I wish I could. It sounds like a better photo. I feel usurped!
January 11th, 2013  
@sabresun Did you take this near a window? Any reflection of anything whatsoever?
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 i see trees too in the top right one
January 11th, 2013  
@laurentye Vindication!
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 @laurentye Nope, not taken anywhere near a reflection. I do like the idea that you can both see trees. Can't see it myself though, unless you mean the area around the stems.
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 Actually that gives me an idea.
January 11th, 2013  
My curiosity is peaked...
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 Okay, I was thinking as you see trees around the apple stems. Why not take a photo of an apple and of a tree and somehow merge the real tree emerging from its stem. Could be surreal goodness.
January 11th, 2013  
@sabresun I look forward to this. You really don't see the skinny trees at the top right of the apple?
January 11th, 2013  
@sabresun LOL, I would die laughing
January 11th, 2013  
@aj1268 Oh, I see what you mean. Thin trees standing in a line with maybe something like firs further behind. I do see them now. I was looking for a different type of tree.
January 11th, 2013  
@sabresun Further vindication!
January 11th, 2013  
@digitalrn All the way from England, that would be funny.
