Apples:Often times, Barbie and I (when we're not too exhausted from the previous day's work) make it a point to go to the weekend market and get some fruits, vegetables and seafood.
Sometimes, I get to see how nice the weather shines on certain produce, and I can't help but pull out my camera to take some pictures. In some instances, I react to how I took certain pictures in the past, and try a different approach - case in point, these apples.
In the past, I would normally take the red apples and the green ones separately - and though there is nothing wrong with that, I tried something differently now, trying to frame both in the picture, and have some contrast work between the two colors. I also tried to make sure their placement in the picture was as balanced as possible. Though in this case, the green ones seem to have more space - but the red ones are definitely more attractive, so having less of them allows the green to compensate... that plus the fact that they're on the foreground.
The rest is post production tweaking... trimming the picture to give more emphasis to the apples, upping the contrast one level higher while adjusting the brightness (lessening it a bit) so the green apples are not too bright - but not too much that the reds are lost with too much shadow.
