beebibi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Input Please.... Hi, Guys...I am working on a project : Fruit - and the following image is one of my efforts. I showed it to my husband (who is Irish) , not in the least artistically inclined. He was not impressed - his crushing comment < It looks like a couple of B... > Now what do you think about my Strawberries? Thanks Best Bee Mar 28, 2009 at 04:13 PM

Scott Stoness Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · Input Please.... I don't have the same reaction as your husband. But I feel that you should find fresher strawberries that have the green looking less wlted. Also feels a bit soft. Higher fstop and more diffused light would be better. Great composition.

beebibi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Input Please.... Right on, Scott - thanks. I felt at the time that handheld under those conditions were not ideal - should not be lazy and use a tripod! Will try again tomorrow with fresh Strawberries Sometimes I like to catch a decayed look but this was neither here nor there, I suppose... Best, Bee Mar 28, 2009 at 08:59 PM

AuntiPode Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · Input Please.... It's a strong image as it is, with intense color. My only suggestion might be to increase the depth of field in focus, because if the image is to be starkly illuminated, it seems to dilute the message to have parts of the leaves softly focused. BTW, asking the opinion of a spouse who's not interested in photography can be like casting.... Mar 29, 2009 at 05:10 AM

beebibi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Input Please.... Thanks, Auntie... to be precise - my husband is not artsy - not that he doesn't appreciate art but he isn't for the fancy stuff - you know painterly effect stuff - it has to look natural to him and his logical side of him has to be satisfied i.e. there has to be a reason for it.....This is sometimes very useful to me and that's why I like to bounce ideas off him when I get carried away, overcook something so to speak .... I have a hard time explaining, you see, English is not my mothertongue.... I will definitely reshoot something fruity and fresh Best, Bee Mar 31, 2009 at 11:17 PM

AuntiPode Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Input Please.... Bee, my dearly beloved isn't a photographer. I'm uncertain whether that's a blessing or a curse. Mar 31, 2009 at 11:50 PM

Matt Leitholt Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · Input Please.... I like the image, your husband just needs an artistic mind, that's all Apr 02, 2009 at 08:01 PM

silvawispa Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #8 · Input Please.... I can see your spouses POV. They seem bloated when I sit back from the screen, coupled with the less than fresh fruit I end up with a bit of a 'bleurgghhh' feeling. It might not help that I don't like strawberries. I like the red line in the framing. Apr 02, 2009 at 10:16 PM

dancam Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Input Please.... I like the compostition, however maybe it's just me but the color seems a little off. Also, either more diffused flash or indirect flash would help I think. Other than that, very nice shot. Apr 03, 2009 at 06:30 AM

beebibi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Input Please.... Thanks, Matt.... and Silva I can see your point - you are very funny and you got me laughing I am also rather fond of the red line in the frame... Thanks, Dancam... so you like the composition but think the colour is a bit off? In what way please? You got me worried now....My monitors are colour profiled with EyeOne Match 3 - what do you do for color management.? Best, Bee Apr 12, 2009 at 06:30 PM

internecine Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Input Please.... i agree with the color being a bit off. looks like there is a bit too much yellow in there. Apr 13, 2009 at 04:52 PM

KIDERAL Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Input Please.... I think its a great image.... Apr 13, 2009 at 04:53 PM
