[macobee]

[snyderman]

Marco..Brilliant series! I love the strawberry!!! You are getting the "hang" of this now!!!!

[Sisyphus]

Excellent. I love your creativity and always enjoy you posts. I have nothing critical to say. You have a way of keeping things simple but very interesting. :cool:

In the future, when an entire museum is dedicated to your life's work, these will obviously be in the Hall title "Clothes Pin Phase":D. Fun images.

That would be awesome!

erh i am humbled y your comments.....and am loving it, but am here to learn........there are things wrong with my lighting in some cases to even and smooth, i.e. no contrast or do you disagree?

[zerovision]

Very cool. Interesting idea. My fav is the last one. I like the lighting on the mugs. thanks for posting.

[Soliz387]

first and last are framers for sure. Great idea!

I do love an invitation...

...but I'd like it to be to your table one day ;-). Lighting and contrast look great. They're terrific pictures. You're just going to have to live with it :-P. The only thing bothering me is the few that come too close to the bottom of the frame. Some can be "fixed" by adding more black underneath - "cherries" and "lettuce" - while garlic, for me, is destined to be the least successful of the set, despite it's still considerable appeal. Superb work.

Cheers, Tony

[macobee]

thanks guys.

Tonydee thanks and yes a bit to close to the bottom or sides in some i agree

[SnapShot621]

Very creative! Great job!

[buurin]

Awesome. I wish I was creative :)

[Stealthy Ninja]

#1 clean the leaves (white stuff on it)
#2 use a bigger strawberry (it looks lost).

Someone had to actually give some advice. :rolleyes:

In about another week, my cherry tree will be ripe and white:lol:

[macobee]

here we dont get any ripe cherries....we have to many birds!

[Flo]

Marco, here too! I may have to sit in the tree and whack them with a stick:p

I feel sorry for the birds that are coming your way...:lol:

Ok on to the pictures.

#1: Nothing glaringly wrong. It might have looked better if the leaves did not hide the two cherries. I would also add some space between the cherries on the left.

#2: I don't care much for the way the strawberry is lighted. There's too much empty space and the composition is not very pleasing.

#3: Portrait orientation would look better here imho, but that's a matter of taste.

#4: My favorite shot. The highlights of the lettuce in the middle are a tad bright compared to the other vegetables, but nothing major.

#5: I think it's interesting. However, I think the mugs are somewhat centered (vertical-wise). I would've lowered them in the frame a bit.

I drop by the food photography thread occasionally, and your work is very nice :)

[macobee]

Thanks very much for your comments Garrett!

[jenabean4]

Wow I love these! I would love to purchase them from you to hang in my kitchen!

[chrisu002]

i like them but the strawberry should be bigger and the last one ruins the flow of the series

[macobee]

Jenabean :) thanks that makes me smile!

Chrisu, thanks!

The more I look at them the more i start to dislike them myself, mostly what disturbs me now on my composition i that its all way to centered all.....

na ja, next time better perhaps!

[poloman]

Love the shots!
I would have laundered the garlic more thoroughly. :)

[macobee]

Hi Poloman, thanks for the heads up.

I didnt want the garlic to be to clean as it was just out of the ground and really wanted to reflect that.

[poloman]

My comment was meant as a joke .... regarding the laundry theme. If you left your shorts that way, there might be a problem. :)

[suesue]

i like the cherrys...i might have spayed them with water...but i am fond of water drops....lol
nice set..

[macobee]

polo......LOL.....sorry i didnt get it at first!

Thanks Sue Sue
