This is a great shot. I love it. It has nice shapes, forms, textures, and color: all combined to make a photo with a lot of impact. The black background is perfect. The dirt is controversial. I personally like it; it gives the image an earthy feel as well as makes viewers wonder why it is there. Very creative and technically perfect.
this is way cool, lee. when i first saw the thumb, i thought it had an eerie, sort of david lynch quality to it, i guess because of the dirt. like there might be little bugs crawling around in it or something. ah well, lynch is weird and apparently so am i! :) going in my favs.
The color is really nice. I know I shouldn't be like this but the stuff (not the blueberries) in the spoon really is not appealing at all. This would have been a 10 without it.
...and sawdust? I don't get it. I want to love this image, but the idea of food and dirt isn't very appealing. Original though, and good use of selective desaturation.
The blue on the berries is lovely. I think this would have been so much nicer without the dirt on the berries. The focus and lighting are really excellent.
Very unusual treatment of a common subject.
The mix of textures and subdued lighting really add so much impact to this image.
Love it...10
My only 10 of the challenge and just added it to my favourites.
I really like this image! I hope that you don't get marked down because "it doesn't look appetizing". The contrast and composition are excellent. 10 Good Luck
TEXTURE. This is an awesome example of how texture and colour can make a
very appealing image. I love this shot. I hope others do too. I'm picking it for top ten.
Enjoy your ribbon.
There's something very appealing about this earthy picture of blueberries. The desaturation works well and, yes, I'd hang that one on my wall. Good luck! 10
Great shot, not sure why the dirt in the spoon with the bluberry? The blue is a bit artifical and not as natural as I would like it. But good overall! 7
