Took me awhile to think of something, so I didn't get started on this one until Sunday afternoon!
Hope everyone recognizes this from the movie :O)
Setup:
My wife attached a new set of leaves to the apple stem, to make it look more like the actual painting.
Screwed a fishing line into the apple, and hung it from a mic stand. Sat behind the apple, and shot with a remote trigger. The lighting was tough on this, as I was trying to replicate the painting from the movie.
The Boler hat's that I could find were all way too short, so I had to cut the top off of one, and add it to another. Also - didn't have a red tie, so changed a black one to red using selective color.
pp:
convert from RAW
crop
selective color (& sat) to change the tie to red, and the bottom boler hat to black

One of my favorite movies, and one of my favorite paintings. Here's one of my attempts from the early days on the site:
Since that challenge was in Basic, I couldn't clone out fishing line. I had to skewer the apple on the end of a wooden spoon, and hold the spoon in my mouth!
