Yes! I love the lighting and the "old master" quality. Inspiring. How did you do it?
Best Wishes, Noel

Thank you Shaun and Noel. This was taken using black card as a background. The fruit was arranged on a stack of flooring slate offcuts. The larger fruit was placed at the front whilst the smallest examples I could find were put at the rear to give an extra feeling of depth. Lighting ( low down over my right shoulder) was by my good old anglepoise diffused through a layer of fleecy plastic parcel packing material- a large sheet hung on a plastic boom mounted on a separate tripod. A dark conversion of the image was layered over a lighter one in PS- I then used the eraser tool to gently rub through to bring out highlights and roundness of the fruit forms. Hope that makes sense and thanks again. Cheers, Gary
