I checked - and tasted - the fruit, Iso3200: these are oranges most assuredly, but they are rather yellowish in colour. Perhaps some weird variety that should rather have been called "yellows", rather than "oranges". :-) Thanks, Matt. I'll check the transform tool if time allows. Regards ~jnconradie

I'd try a quick "transform" in PS... :-) Matt

Thanks everyone for the constructive feedback. Iso3200: I thought those were oranges, but now that you mention it, they looks more like grapefruit to me as well. I wonder if my white-balance might have been a little off? In any event, I will double-check. Matt: The square frame is from a craft shop, the background is a sheet of green paper and I then took the four shots individually before bringing them together with the help of PaintShop. And I think that is also the origin of my rotation problems. None of the squares are probably 100% perfect and putting them all together led to some problems at the edges and joints. Thanks for your sharp-eyed comment. If I get a chance, I will do some rotating. :-) The object of the whole exercise was actually to do the same with one of our cats. The citrus fruit were just to try out the concept. The cat version is athttp://www.pbase.com/jnconradie/image/63195622, but since there were already enough stunning cat entries in the challenge, I stuck to the citrus version. :-) Regards ~jnconradie

Though (IMHO) it does need to be rotated clockwise very very slightly, it is a beauty. My vote. Are those your kitchen cabinets? Matt.

I like the overall effect here, but the oranges sure look like yellow grapefruits to me?
