This is my adorable boyfriend who agreed to being my model on the conditions that he got to eat all the strawberries I bought and our awesome mutual friend got to hold it up for him. I got the idea for this photo when I was feeding him Dr. Pepper jelly beans one day and I held it up and wouldn't give it to him and he made the most adorable trying to get the jellybean face I had ever seen so I decided to re-enact the moment using a strawberry and this is how it turned out. Our friend got a nice manicure in the process/ I lit this with a general light above him behind him and then a brighter lamp lighting from right behind the strawberry that i held with my free hand.

As for post processing, I did quite alot with the lighting and coloring. I used several different colored layers to bring out a fuller range of color and did some spot editing to even out his skin.

I like the color and the lighting here. Also the expression on the model's face is wonderful.

Like the pose and the composition. The colors don't work for me. If the skin tones were more natural I would have scored this higher.
