 Not my most creative effort I'm afraid but time was limited this weekend. The weather was pretty hot and any food I took outside was covered in flies in seconds.

Shot outside in Sara's garden on her slatted table with sweet pea plants in the background. Regretted this after shooting as the OOF plants created some multicoloured bokeh which was too tricky to get rid of for me in basic. This isn't my first choice pic therefore but the one whose composition let me crop them out ;-)

I know there are marks on the two peaches behind the front most peach. Ideally I'd have bought more peaches so I had some better ones to choose from but you live and learn

Outtakes here if anyone is interested.

Soft focus works. Looks good.

positives: great color, DOF and nice rendition of the fuzziness of the peaches
negatives: because of that very same fuzziness, the image lacks contrast

Lovely! Looks soft and fuzzy (in the right places) like ripen peaches.

I guess you were going for a soft look right? It's soft, maybe too soft for my liking. other than that, nice color and dof.
