Using the Bathroom mirror as a base, a trio of tasty strawberries were laid on a bed of caster sugar.
This was taken in the garden so that a lovely blue sky with a few wispy clouds could be utilised to enhance the reflection, as I felt that red, white and blue would work well together.
I tried for two Granular Structures:
- Sugar and
- Strawberry carpels or true fruits, commonly called pips or seeds
I missed the two dots on the left untill it was too late to reshoot
Using Photoshop CS2
1. Unsharp Mask

5. Shadow and Highlight to try ad get a little more differentiation with front Strawberry
6. Neat Image
7. Sized for DPC
8. Unsharp Mask
9. Added border

Bright, colorfull, and action packed photo. I do wish that a few more of the upper grains of sugar had been in better focus. But thats a small complaint considering the difficulty of the shot. Interesting choise of back grounds. The blue works well with me and the clouds reay add to the abtract look. very nice job 9
