CS #507 - Fruits and Veggies!

[LyndeeLoo]

It's my turn again, and I'm happy to host our newest Collective Shoot!

I have to admit to being in a major photographic slump. I've picked up my camera exactly four times since the beginning of the year, and outside of two previously hosted CS's, I've not processed any of the images I've taken! Soooo, I'm hoping that hosting this week's CS will give me the boost I need to start shooting again!

This week's subject is Fruits and Vegetables. These are items that I know we all have in our respective homes, and want you to be as creative as you'd like and show me what's for dinner...

...or breakfast...

...or lunch...

Oh...whatever, LOL! ​

Anyway, the normal CS rules apply and here are a couple of images to get you going:

Excellent theme, Lyndee, and I really like your examples. What is that in the third one? A lemon?

107 forecast for today....why can't the topic be "ice?"

Good topic Lyndee and glad to see you again. I too have been in a slump
and am hoping to find my photographic drive.

Very nice starting shots


ps.........I'm MELTING

My garden this year consists of two tomato plants that I grew from seed. I started getting ripe tomatoes about two weeks ago and I am already thinking that one plant would have been enough. I have 24 tomatoes in the bowl with the largest at 4 inches across and the smallest a little less than 2 inches.

Great examples Lyndee. First one looks like an old master. Did you use special PP?

Well done Dave! That's a good crop from two plants. Presumably more to come?

Dave, your results are amazing. Those tomatoes look wonderful. I tried to garden this year and failed miserably. I don't know if I over watered or if it was just too hot. Either way, my plants are gone.

Yours on the other hand are awesome. Well done and well shot!

Thank you! And yes, I used a mix of Topaz and Color Efex Pro on that image to give it a kind of aged look.

Lunch!

Thank you Lyndee for getting me to eat a healthier lunch.
Could have been fried chicken

Didn't spend much time setting this up, was too hungry.
Have already had coffee with friends, wash and waxed car, watered
the dog* and now its time to cool off and eat.

My feet won't move for the rest of the day,
until dinner.

*edit: What was Ruff was the 40 minute workout in the gym...forgot that!​

Oh, that pork was vegan, or so the Chinese guy who cooked it told me

Thank you Warth man. Unfortunately there are many more tomatoes in various stages of ripening.

Thank you Ed. Your salad looks so good that it doesn't need any tomatoes.
