The theme had Silke in mind and TL had to look like one great fruit basket to wish Silke a speedy recovery.
Linda already informed us that things are okay, so now we can have fun.
Fruit is not something I tried to capture, but this weekend I had to if I could offer a contribution for the theme.
The pictures are all made with available light coming from a window at the right side of the fruits. The white balance was disturbed because of all the reds and orange colours in my living room, so here I had to create my own white-balance by first making a picture of a white sheet of paper - using MF and spotmetering. That done the fruits indeed got the colour that make them so attractive.

Whats on offer here:
Cherries - pine-apple - red-grapefruit - apricot - kiwi-gold - strawberry and the last one is a pomegranate - so take your pick and enjoy in good health.
*
Enjoy the coming weekend,
Els

Hi Els,

You are so creative with this shot! All of the details of the different fruits are beautiful--especially the strawberry!! (they are my favorites).

You certainly have the post processing skill to get the exact image you desire, as you did a great job! I know Silke will appreciate the kind wishes!

Hello Els,

At first, I thought these were little faces but no, they are fruits!
Lovely pp work and a fine message to Silke.
She will appreciate your endeavour!

The images are nice and sharp.
It could make a good guessing game - identify the fruits!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I thought I would start a return to Trek by writing some critiques, but what an amazing surprise to see this -- what a sweet thought!
I love the execution of this and the composition is fabulous -- a superb greeting card with lots of potential (without my name in it)!!
Very kind of you !
