Orange Peeled

I thought I was done with the fruit series, but Christal Steele was

all over my ass to do the orange, so here it is.:)

:-)  Now aren't you glad I asked?  This is great!  I particularly like the peel in his mouth and the way the light is hitting it.   I know it's an old cliche, but you've inspired me to start thinking 'outside of the box'.  Happy New Year to you (and your wonderful dog)!

Thanks, Jorge.

Haha! Yes, I am glad, Christal. Thanks. Happy New Year to you too!

When I looked at your 'Winston' folder in your portfolio, I was struck by how great the 4 of these images look together.  You could do one more......perhaps purple background with a cluster of grapes cascading down over his head?  This could make a great poster or ad for fruits.   Okay.....enough of my suggestions now.  It's just hard to resist.....this is such a creative idea, and I would exploit it as much as possible.  :-)

Yep. Every time I think I am done with these darn fruits, something else pops up. I actually emailed my sister about an hour ago, whom I have been discussing this series with, and told her since now I have ROYG from ROYGBIV, the rainbow, I might as well do blueberries for B, some other berry for Indigo, and grapes for Violet. I guess I could maybe skip indigo, since it's so close to violet. I already have a blue background and I saw some fresh blue blueberries at Sam's last week, which was a shocker, being this time of year. Not sure how I could make such small fruit look good on him though. I considered rubbing them all over his face and turning it blue and then put a pile on his head, but that stuff is like dye and I don't want him to be blue for more than a couple of days.:) I did try grapes already when I was doing green, but they were so heavy that he kept his head down. Maybe I can find some small purple grapes somewhere. Last week, when I thought I was all done, I made this image because I thought all three together looked good.  I guess if I end up doing 6, then it might look better with a row underneath and it won't be so panoramic.

Yeah, with your active imagination, I figured you had probably explored a lot of other possibilities.  They do have those tiny champagne grapes that might work.....they look really cute as a cluster.  And speaking of clusters......I agree that these images look great as a grouping.  I have no earthly idea how to do blueberries.....now you've made me ponder that!  :-) 

Way to go Christal!!  This series has to continue! ;-)....  Mike

Christal - Thanks again. I don't remember ever seeing small grapes like that, but then again, I have never shopped for grapes until I bought the green ones the other day. I liked the taste so well, I just might buy some more. I will hit up different grocers until I find the smallest in town.:) Then I will have to find a purple canvas, but that shouldn't be too hard.

Mike - Haha! Yep. There's no way around it continuing two more times and then one more for the final montage. It's set in stone now.

 Unbelievable beautiful,touchy and cute scene! very very well made!

Best regards! Hanan

Superb!

Scott, your series with your dog are absolutely fantastic, so hilarious and very beautifully captured. This one is particularly beautiful. Excellent work dear, keep those pics flowing here.
