Fennel

By chase
I went out to try and find some Artichokes, none to be seen, they are sooo out of season Sad
Had to make do with some Fennel.Oh well, the other image will wait I suppose.
Not drastically happy with my results, it may not remain here, not quite sure.

Lit by my lightbox camera left.
3 frames combined in Lightroom, finished in Photoshop.

Thanks for taking the time to call by.
Constructive critique and mods welcome.

The textures and feathery greens really come over very well here, I think.
I love fennel; MrsW is not keen on the aniseed flavour so I get the lion's share when she includes it in North African dishes.

Also not keen on the taste of fennel. Why the urgency for artichokes?

Another wonderful still life and I think we have all had that feeling that there is something more to be had out of an image.
The mod I started with a solid color layer set to soft light at 25% and move the colour picker around the image. I thought the green from the fennel worked well. Added a b&w dodge and burn layers. Followed by a LUT trying to find that change in light. Last played with the light over parts of the image.
I hope you like it and as always just ideas...

Thanks everyone.
Andrew and Lillian, great to have your UAs, many thanks.

Nice mod Robert, thank you for letting me know what you did.

Fiona, I have an image in my mind that won’t go away, Artichokes are the main ingredient.

Does the inverted scales tray represent your indecision, MJ? Or is it to prevent any more fennel being added, subconsciously wanting artichoke?Wink

Hi Oliver, fab to have your UA, thank you.
Lol Malc, probably a mixture of both, I got fed up of trying to balance stuff in the place I wanted it to be so I flipped the tray in frustration Wink

Beautiful light and textures Janet, I have never had artichokes or fennel, did you want to eat them as well as employ them as model?
I think the fennel makes a nicer model than artichoke ( after I googled what one looks like, I have had a sheltered life Wink)

Sprouts might work well , for models and eating 😋😋😋
