What do you do with too much fruit? I make a drink called a smoothie; watermelon, strawberries, grapes, and blueberries. Delicious and refreshing for the summer heat in Georgia. A nice alternative to coffee in the morning.

The photo itself didn't look as appetizing with all of the bits of strawberry seed, blueberry bits, etc.... so I decided to have waaaaay too much fun in post processing!

I altered the gamma until the color of my choice was achieved
Added Saturation
Painted the background white
Added contrast (my favorite icon :D)
I also added a copyright and my name in the green area of the photo....©lisapouloswilliams Can you see it? Not that I'm worried about anyone borrowing my photo, but just to experiment and have fun!

As always, I appreciate you viewing, your comments and critiques, and workshops.

Eat some fruit today (or drink it). It's healthy for you. Lisa

Hi Lisa nice idear, very bright colours, looks very artistic.

Is it tilting to the left a bit.

Thanks
Gil

Hi Lisa,
This is very arty, your PP work makes it pop out of the screen, you did forget to straighten the image though, maybe the fruit juice went to your head LOL.
Well done
Regards FAV

Wow - I thought your last photo stood out amongst the thumbnails, but this? This is bright!!!
Nice pp work, great effect (apart from the tipsy tilt of course LOL)
Cheers
David

Dunno about drinking it, the colours are enough to wake you up!!! novel idea, I like the POV... regards h

Hi Lisa, it looks a very tasty drink, I'm quite fond of smoothies. I think you may have been aiming for a high key type effect? I think you went a bit too far with the saturation - all three red green and blue channels are all clipped and that means there is very little detail left - it's most notable on the strawberry. Looking at your photos I think you have some good ideas. I feel that you could do with concentrating on understanding some technical issues. I realise you may be experimenting with some new or different technical features/functions. It's not my intention to sound harsh here - I'm more than happy to help you in any way that you think I might...feel free to ask if you think I can be of assistance.

I like it Lisa! I would think this would make a great photo for an ad! I love this stuff, not recommended for me, too much sugar! But it looks yummy!!..I can only eat whole fruit Eating a Clemintine right now!... Great shot!
B-)

Hi, Lisa -
Nice PP work and a great result. Electric colors, and I like the way the glass is slightly tilted in the frame - looks like it is having a party! The skewer of berries sticking out at an angle is a nice touch. Could use some vodka in there, maybe? Cheers -
Sandy

Hi Lisa,I like the originality & that you are experimenting with new ideas,excellent copyright would not have noticed it if you had not mentioned it.Its a non alcoholic drink so should not be tilting,though:)My only real negative is the strawberry, its a little to much PP work IMHO,looking forward to viewing your future experiments,keep having fun,its what its all about.
Best Regards

Ron

TFS!

Dear Lisa,
