A tribute to Scab-lab's yellow ribbon winner in the Still Life challenge entitled Macintosh.
I copied the set-up as well as the technique, painting with light. Shot using a small light bulb moved around over the top of the apples and a black velvet for background.
Shot in raw mode.
Post processing: cloned out some of the glare from the light source, levels, curves, color adjustment; a little bit of CCW rotation, cropped, resized, Neat Image, usm. I modified the border from the original... not that I didn't like Gary's border, just a personal preference.
Hope the voters like it, the same way as they liked Gary's original. Thank you, Gary.
Canon 50mm f1.8 prime.

Having two photos in one challenge that are nearly identical as rare, and allows for a side-by-side comparison that is unfamiliar to me as a DPC voter. Your Macintosh selection looks a little dull compared to the other, and maybe a little soft on focus, and just doesn't "pop" out of the monitor. These are not huge issues though, and I probably would never have mentioned them at all if it weren't for the easy comparision. I give your image a six and will return for further study.
