Can you guess what is this?
Surely not hearts but then what?
This is a riddle I want you to solve.
I will give you the answer tomorrow.
Till then keep guessing and keep posting your thoughts on this....

I guess it was too simple a riddle for all you intelligent people out there. Most of you guessed it right, yes these were at one time tomatoes until this crazy brainstorm struck me. May be next time I need to be more innovative!

Tomatoes? The leaves seem to suggest that. Whatever it is ... YOU have put your heart in the effort. If I may make a suggestion ... what are those on the floor? Distracting. And texts? I don't think ... Anyway, it's my opinion and, yes, it's a fine photo.

I think these are tomatoes.
With the help of some PP work
Wonderful

Excellent vivid colors and textures.Love the contrast of red with the blue.And the answer is...Tomatoes.I love that on my salad:)
Well Done.

Hi Lopa. Good creative work here. The colours are very strong and effective. TFS. Murray.

Hi Lopa, when one enters your album it is as if there is a colourfull party going on - wonderfull. The answer is already given, but it's amazing to me how you can do that with PP work. A great job in a great frame.

Hello Lopa

She me pleases the photo the texture, the sheens and the light, but I believe that the deformation remains rather unreal...

Nevertheless, great photo.

Hello Lopa,
I like what you have done to your tomatoes. Good placement in the frame and management of the distortion in the background. The same day I noticed your shot, I noticed another heart-shaped tomato by boots.

I've been coming back to this photo ever since I started here on TL. Great distortion work. They really do look like hearts, you did too great a job to confuse us :D! I like the way the red really stands out from the background. That is what strikes me most about this photo: the beautiful colors and the way they interact with each other. Great work that deserves all its points!

Dear Lopa,
You are really TL's queen of colours, and these are not simple tomatoes of course. I had not noticed that they could have so special and lovely shapes in Kolkata ! You picked the right ones in the store, and interpreted their forms with great "heart"...
I regret that I have not much time to be here nowadays,
Good luck and regards from Brussels,
Cath.

HiLopa,
I like this beautiful idea and amazing post processing.
It looks good - nice composition and contrast between red and dark graw.
