 Well a cliche but I at least wanted to submit something for this challenge for my WPL teammates in case I don´t have time tomorrow or tuesday to enter the "School Day" open challenges. Taken pretty last minute or just before midnight.

Lit and done pretty much the same way as my AA Battery entry, actually also the same poster I used for backround. Henny held up the fruits with a fishline she put through them.

Post processing somewhat more than on that battery challenge entry but still pretty minimal. Raw conversion of course where I decreased saturation and up with contrast. Was going to clone out the fishline afterwards but turned out I didn´t have to except for where the knot was tied on the bottom of the Kiwi slice, the rest of the line just looks like water anyway. Some dodge/burning and curves adjustments, darkened the edges of the photo and then added the frame and sharpened after resizing.

I predict this image will do very well. It's a typical shiny DPC image, though it's been beaten to death in my opinion.

WOW I love these water drops - it remind me of another photo with 2 AA batteries by Larus - anyway it deserves to be in my 8 pile

Ayeee the splashy water thing again . . lol.

You've actually captured the shot very nicely (perhaps the Kiwi could have been a tad greener), but there seems to be a lot of splashing water in this comp. Still nice, still gets a vote.

Very nicely setup. Love the color combination, Kiwii is my favorite fruit, with strawberry's being right behind it, so thats a plus. Great lighting! Clarity and sharpness right on. Wondeful idea, reminds me of Larus and his incredible Battery shot, which won a ribbon. Come to think of it....Could it be the Master's work??? Great shot!!! 10
