Made a bunch of pinholes in a blue cardboard and placed a 500W worklamp behind it for a starlight. Placed a melon in front of the cardbord and painted it with a flashlight from the side. Converted from RAW, adjusted curves, hue/sat, USM, cropped, resized, saved. Then additional adjustment of curves at my office computer with Gimp.

Awesome! This is very creative... I'm suprised it didn't score higher. (okay, maybe I'm not. I've seen lots of great images get dumped in the 5.5 range for no apparant reason) :P The lighting is beautiful, and the composition perfect. I love this!
Looks like a lot of thought went into this one, and it paid off! I like the detail in the melon, and it was clever to make it into a space theme. A 10!
Sweet idea, well composed and a satisfying, well lit texture. Not much to criticise negatively here and this is actually very memorable, so I hope you do well.
Best one so far, If TV hadnt ruined my imagination I would have dreams tonight of a planet made entirely of canteloupe! Wouldnt that be a fun place to go on vacation/dinner!
