SALAD DAYS

Preparing veggies for dinner in a stainless steel bowl, I became fascinated by the reflections, so I took it outside to utilize the natural late afternoon light...

 

Besides a slight saturation of the peppers, this is straight out of the camera...

Hey, Linda!! I've been experimenting with greys for the canvas extension to use with the drop shadow and can't seem to get it right. Would you give me the #'s that you're using (noticed that Roger is getting it correct, too!)

 

By the way ... this is cool ... great textures here. I love the peppers against the onions. Did you crop the top and bottom? I would have liked to see just a tiny bit more there.

I cropped it in my lens, specifically to go to the edge...

 

Don't know the number, but it was from a web color page in the red tones....

Amazing how you can take a creative salad and make it into a creative shot. Wonderful!

great colors!

First the photo, then two questions. Really like the idea. The color and subject is great. I am wondering about the crop from a symetry standpoint.

 

Question #1: Would the image work better if the bottom of the plate was cropped the same way as the top of the plate?

 

Question #2: How do you do the drop shadow thing?

 

 

I like the composition as it is. Cropping the bottom would make it too symmetrical imo and lose that nice highlight too.

Nice composition!

Pizza????..no...salad!!! very good and original!!!!

beautiful colors and interesting subject. However, I think the reflective light in the bottom is a little distracting.

Such an eye, any wonder I love you ! (Tell Lou Ann that 204 in each of the RGB channels is the backdrop of Photo Net) Now, do you want me to start the fire in the BBQ ? Smile ! Roger

Beautiful, Linda. I love the bright contrasting colors.

its missing something...let me think..oh yes, Tofu.

 

 

Really original!

Linda, It is beautiful and creative.... The colors are wonderful...!!! This image reminds me somehow the paintings of Cezanne... the brush touches...

ohhhhh my special woman..........we are connected....

Such wonderful color and reflections of the colors. Funny how sometimes seemingly everyday things just jump out and grab ya!

Keep on living and the shots will keep coming! To see the beauty is to live well! Interesting comp.

Never thought I would be reviewing food style shots - but a wonderful abstract. An amazing eye as always.

I love your eye! Have you ever seen "The Scent of Green Papaya"? You would love it....
