creative interpretation ~ say cheese!

[Nasturtium]

feel free to go wild folks, show me what you can do.

I had to hide the cheese from DH so it wouldn't be eaten before I got the chance to take a picture of it.

Really like the fruit and appreciate the play Nancy.

The cheese gone bad, I'm afraid.

Pavel - that's okay, I love blue cheese
Grant - that really turned out well, especially on the grapes and the leaves
John - Isn't it neat how well PE makes brush strokes?
amica - Wow! Marvelous pallet brush effect, I really like how the yellow bleeds into the black

Dan ~ love that wild background. really like how your version it seems to be a blend of all traditional styles all at the same time.

Thanks for the compliments. I was trying to work up the nerve to post it in the Refinery at DGrin and then I thought;

there are blown areas on the reflection of the grapes
that moldy grape in the front bothers me
the pineapple should have been higher ~ looks like it is growing out of the lemon
the bananas are positioned kinda funny

Nice arrangement, Nasturtium. There was absolutely nothing in the area of exposure that needed correction. Any tone or light/dark adjustments I tried did nothing to change what you've already done with your camera & lights.

I took the liberty to "add on to" the pineapple, clone a lemon & flip horizontally. Doesn't the cheese remind you of an iron? The shapes were glorious to play with and I went a little bonkers with Topaz Simp, Kyoto Color, various blending layers and smudging. Several variations also landed in the recycle bin!

Thanks.

veronica - yes, my keep rates runs about 40% on edits. Experimenting is what it's all about. I love what happened to the lemons in your first edit and the second one the cheese reminds me of the green cheese that the moon is made of

Great photo and nice edits.
I did a sketch, gradient, texture overlay and some other blending/inversions, mezzotint. Not sure what I kept and what I discarded.

[Nasturtium]

Amy, that looks like it's been shot through architect's glass, wonderful!

Tennie - I really like the colors you've ended up with. Those warm red shadows really work to set off the bright yellow lemons and cheese. I'm never sure what I've done after a creatively frenzied edit either.

Thanks, Nancy. It was a fun photo to work with.
