 I didn't do a lot to this aside from the crop.

Layer of curves very gentle
USM at 20, 20, 0
USM at 200, 1.5, 2
resize
NI
USM at 100, 0.5, 0
history brush on BG back to NI step
SFW

I NEED HELP!! I can't get this to look exactly like I want it to :(

I would like for the light on the curves of the berry to be not quite so bright but I TRIED and I just can't do it without making the berry look rotten or SUPER dull.

Please, feel free to take the other one and give it a try. If you would like the original, e-mail me.

I really like your 1st strawberry (b4) as looks authentic like a real strawberry..

I'm not the person to ask about lighting w fruits (inexperienced mind ya) but, can mention 2nd strawberry looks like it's glazed.. Know what i mean?

Everyone see's things differently.. Wonder if u lightened the whole strawberry perhaps wouldn't fit with bg..
Realize u might one a subtle effect via direction of light..
