Still Life

Should I of posted this in the Photoshop arena? I don't really consider any shenanigans occured. :nah

I only changed a little because I wanted to get the feeling of a painting on this one.

As usual, brutal honesty is not only welcome, but preferred.

i have to disagree about the blemishes, faults are part of the natural beauty, of course i could be wrong.

i have to disagree about the blemishes, faults are part of the natural beauty, of course i could be wrong. I agree. I think too often photographers attempt to remove elements of a photograph which are natural, but for some reason are deemed unacceptable. Too much use of the clone tool isn't always a good thing.

Sometimes it's best to just let the camera capture the reality that's in front of it, IMHO.

I like the shot. Nice composition and lighting.

Thanks for the comments.

I've rarely seen I perfect looking piece of fruit myself. I think if I would of made everything "perfect", it would of become too synthetic and commercial looking.
