An experiment i tried on Saturday thanks to DCmag but failed due to lack of 'light'.... after asking for help along comes Grainge (G73) to the rescue armed with his maglite and hey presto..... apple and pear still life lit with a maglite and a layer added to add texture. Not sure if it works but a first attempt so any C&C would be appreciated.

Hope you all had a good weekend....

This is the complete opposite of the last upload. Love the rich colours and the low light. Looks like an old oil painting. excellent Karen.

sorry have to agree with Barrynic..Think texture takes away some of the sharpness of this excellent close up...David

Fantastic still life, great lighting - Rembrandt come to mind. Only possible negative is the high light on the apple is a but harsh, but I'd be happy with it.

I really like it - the dark shadows are soft and seem to surround the fruit beautifully, still leaving enough colour. The texture is something I also like!

I was anxious to open this image as it was begging to be seen large-- FANTASTIC lighting-- Jennnn

Honoured to be no; 30 for this wonderful image Karen.
I so love the effect you have created.
The colours are really lovely, as are the reflections & composition.
I think I would have preferred it with the flash just toned down on the apple, but that's another learning curve.
Look forward to more.

I love the the textured look Karen - I think it adds to the image.
Just the light spot to tone down.

Great technique and you've pulled off the lighting really well. Only thing I'm unsure about is the texture as (in my view) it doesn't add anything ... but others have said differently so just a personal view of course. Enjoyed catching up on your PF this morning.
Regards
Dave

Great image - good work with the lighting!
