3 lights, background green,diffuse main,
halogen for the sparkle
the juice is actually apple cider & it really stinks ...
leaves are grapefruit trees ;)

-can tell the main complaints will be over sharpend - but if i pulled sharpening back everything became to soft .. looks fine in full rez.

I'm sorry this one didn't ribbon! Not that the ribbon winners weren't good but this shot was just so great! Creativity did it for me!! Great job.....

I thought for sure this would have finished first. The most creative shot by far and beautifully lit.

Certainly beat my apple juice. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

I really like this idea, but the scene is just a little too crowded - the leaves are overpowering & the apple is almost lost
05/24/2005 03:50:50 PM
Neat idea!
05/23/2005 01:14:42 PM
VERY VERY VERY GOOD!!--10!

Love this shot. Awesome concept. Vibrant colors. Great detail. Great lighting. Great job.
05/21/2005 05:57:34 PM
Not enough apple. The other components overwhelm the apple.
05/21/2005 12:38:34 AM
Great idea, but I find the image a little too busy.
05/20/2005 10:55:45 PM
Probably the most creative of this challenge. Nice overall shot. Good luck.
05/20/2005 06:59:10 PM
remarkable colors. great composition.
05/20/2005 03:19:34 PM
Haha awesome.
05/20/2005 09:53:41 AM
Excelent composition. DOF and focus seems just right.
05/19/2005 12:09:43 PM
What a great idea! I need to got get some juice now.
05/19/2005 09:31:05 AM
This is all good. I'm only troubled by the full, cluttered look of this. Too much going on, lights on the glass, leaves, the apple and of course the faucet. My eye can't land on anyone object. Does this make sense..? I hope so. the quaility is very good. I like the lights on the glass and the over all colors. The composition is good by just looks too cramed full of stuff! I think your idea is very good and you met the challenge. I hope this will do well. Just my 2cents.

Wonderful warm colors, and a pretty neat idea for the challenge. Great details in this image make it stand out as a leader in this challenge. <8>

i'am impressed by the beautiful coulors of this picture...
05/18/2005 08:33:00 PM
Very good. Would love to see the juice coming out of the faucet. I realize that would increase the difficulty 10 fold. Great shot.
05/18/2005 05:52:53 PM
good idea, but the leaves distract from it
05/18/2005 12:31:07 PM
Excellent!!!!!!!!
05/18/2005 11:13:05 AM
Very nice idea, nicely done!
05/18/2005 09:49:06 AM
I love everything about this: setup, lighting, clarity.....10
05/18/2005 09:24:31 AM
Great idea - think it might be a little better if more of the apple was in - leaf distracting
05/18/2005 07:55:03 AM
creative and sharp, one of the best so far
05/18/2005 05:24:13 AM
Clever, clever!
05/18/2005 04:41:05 AM
Brilliant idea. Love the rich colours too. 10.
05/18/2005 03:48:22 AM
This is pretty cool lookin, but I'd try and get a larger drop coming out of the spigot.
05/17/2005 11:54:58 PM

05/17/2005 10:14:19 PM
