Stop it, I like it! Exposure 1/125, ISO320, F-stop 5.6, 180mm fixed, multispot, onboard-Flash, Rear lit 500 watt tungsten through white screen, side light 250watt tungsten, grey balance. PS CS layer white, "blend Exclusion", Flatten, curves = lab mode L-channel sort of 's' shape, guassian blur, focus magic - sharpen - out of focus "1". Roughly from memory, for the PS CS work. Its the blur before the sharpen that gives the molten look. - Paul

Paul, could you give some technical details on this, please? I'm interested in exif, plus any other info you feel like divulging. The more i see this, the more i like it: you're better than you think you are.

Thanks Kate! I agree, the molten glass look of the water seems to really work! - Paul

I was going to colour back the strawberry, but that was just too predictable! Thanks - Paul

I'm not sure about the blue strawberry, but the water effect is way cool! - Warren

Good memory! In fact a little too good I think! Thanks Flick! - Paul

This is terrific, Paul, well done. I like your liquid in glasses pics. I remember the one you did for the water comp. It was first in, if I remember, and I felt quite inspired by it.

Hi Paul
I think you've done a great job here - not usually too keen on this kind of thing, but I reckon it works really well here . . . . . just don't ask me to eat blue strawberries!
Kind Regards Jono
