Description I decided to revisit my old deviation
[link]
due to it's popularity (37 's so far!). I figured I could have done a lot better so I ran it through photoshop.

I hope you like the updated version!

Photoshop: Adjust curves, color correction, diffuse glow, add frame.

I am also thinking I might totally revisit gory food subjects with my newer camera that is a DSLR and has better macro settings. Tell me what you think.

Strawberries are masochists. They like being impaled. And covered in molten chocolate!

this is great! I love how the red stands out from the background. Very vivid. And the little bits of shine on the strawberry, it looks so juicy. 8D

=o how dare you kill and abuse the strawberries for this photograph. Hahaha jk. I really like the photo and running it through photoshop gave it an extra pop (no pun intended.) The color is fantastic and the emotion too lol.

Lovely, do u mind if I watch you?

Why would I mind if you watch me? What a silly question. I find it an honor when someone watches me.

Is this inspired by Beatles/Across the Universe kinda stuff?

CrustyMuffin In reply to ArtyMog [2007-12-23 20:26:52 +0000 UTC]

I never really thought about it that way. Actually they were not an inspiration but it's cool that it can be associated with this.

ArtyMog In reply to CrustyMuffin [2007-12-23 20:51:50 +0000 UTC]

Alright, it just seriously reminded me of the strawberries pinned to the canvas, squashed, and spread on the floor in the movie lol

Nice piece of work by the way

Reminds me of a stop motion a friend of mine did of two bananas that kind of had sex and then one killed the other and then killed itself.

CUTE! I think you should move on and create a war scene between oranges and banana's

CrustyMuffin In reply to vsage [2007-11-14 17:08:06 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking apples and bananas once they are always associated with each other. I think I have a story line planned out too.

I'm glad you still like it. A lot of revisit of this was based on your older comment on the other one. Do you think I should do more fruit creative stuff like this?

Megglles [2007-11-10 21:27:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes this is nice the border suits it and the contrast against the lighter background from the original makes it stand out. I think they are both fantastic but I was going to say on the poll (until it timed out on me) that if you are going to revistit it I would take a new shot with the new camera and find something new along the same lines... maybe a bit of cream or.... well up to you..

CrustyMuffin In reply to Megglles [2007-11-10 21:54:13 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I deleted the poll because I decided to redo it. I do plan on doing more food photography in the future as well and different ideas surrounding it other then blood. Thanks for the support and your ideas, if you would like to see a particular theme (like strawberry and chocolate) let me know!

I totally agree. It almost feels like a bad thing until you realize it's just fruit.
