Wish one of these apples was sitting on my table!
They look so real and delicious. It would be hard
to capture this in a painting.
Simply gorgeous. Is this a new lens or a rental? It's stunning.
Posted by Jarrard on September 29, 2008 2:34 PMWonderful bokeh! Those apples looks very delicious .
Posted by Tero on September 29, 2008 3:08 PMWine Berries I thought. The reds vs greens are delicious. Great taste a usual! Thank you for delivering.
Posted by david tinnon on September 29, 2008 3:50 PMSince April 24th I've waited for this shot
A summer's worth of anticipation, final beauty now begot.
Dangling orbs of potential to be picked very soon
Enjoyed right from the tree or cooked and eaten with a spoon.
So whether it's raw, stewed, baked or sqeezed by some brute
This will always be a most versatile fruit.
This is exactly like my orchard in my backyard. Love it. It's home for me.
Posted by hwalk on September 29, 2008 5:14 PMI just love the colors in this photo. And your apples are looking a lot healthier than ours this year. :)
Posted by Judith Polakoff on September 29, 2008 9:30 PMI love the narrow depth of field, wonderful capture.
Posted by marco's light opinion on September 30, 2008 7:30 PMWonderful! They are just about right I suspect. The bokeh truely is beautiful. Nice work :)
Posted by Kristian Rasmussen on October 1, 2008 9:09 AMBeautifully focussed and a 'cool' autumnal feel.
Posted by David H-W on October 1, 2008 9:28 AMIt is mind numbing to believe that all of the wars and pestilence, famine and floods, goodness and grace, have been the result of a woman waking up without a real breakfast plan.
Posted by Willow on October 1, 2008 3:50 PMI love the colors. Beautiful DOF.
Posted by el_extranjero (the stranger) on October 1, 2008 4:02 PMLong time admirer, first time commenter.
Autumn is my favourite season, and like a previous commenter said, you've managed to capture both its colour and its fading glory. I love it.
Posted by Leonie on October 1, 2008 4:11 PMWonderful and vivid colors here, like specially the soft background
Posted by conflagratio on October 2, 2008 9:35 AMWonderful autum scene
Posted by conflagratio on October 2, 2008 9:36 AMThis is so far one of my favourite photograph's! I love how it blends with the background and it's just so magnificient! I love it!
Posted by Kayla on October 2, 2008 11:25 AMThey look almost 3D and so sweet and delicious I could almost reach out and pick one.
Posted by Laurie on October 2, 2008 12:28 PMGreat use of narrow depth of field, a truely stuning picture, and a talented piece of work.

Posted by Simon on October 3, 2008 11:01 AMNice focusing. I love the depth, and the soft background.
Posted by photodreamz on October 4, 2008 12:31 AMFantastic photo. I love the colors
Posted by Luis (Spain) on October 4, 2008 5:40 AMGood craftmanship. Did you enhance the greens?
Posted by flyfishertc on October 4, 2008 12:06 PMWillow, (O.K., I'll bite.) Eve of Destruction? Or "best laid plans of the gods and men gang aft a-gley?"
Perhaps just Kathleen's way of starting a new chapter, (A 2nd Genesis,) under add-verse conditions?
Speaking of chapters, Kathleen, I got a laugh recently to learn that one of my favorite authors, James Michener, was a member the Bucks County Illuminate. So your in good company--but we knew that.
Jarrard: I've owned this lens for about two years now. It's my favorite.
flyfishertc: There's no specific change to the greens - I use the curves tool to boost contrast and saturation to the entire image, and the color balance tool for overall toning.
Posted by Kathleen on October 6, 2008 9:25 AMBeautiful image here - love the depth of field you've used, which does result in a satisfying bokeh
Posted by LwS on October 7, 2008 3:56 AMso nice colours ! A delicious picture of delicious apples....
Posted by Denis on October 7, 2008 5:37 PMLovely strong colour combination. Terrific.
