Red Apple, a new image and print was recently uploaded to both my website and my Saatchi Art Store.  Interestingly enough, I was going thru my Work in Process Folder from a previous year and came across it. I kept looking at it and wondering why I never uploaded it before.  It has all the criteria I am always wanting in an image. 

1. A vibrant subject.
2. Dramatic lighting.
3. Perfectly exposed and focus is spot on.
4. Composition is great.
5. I love the contrast between the red apples and weathered wood.

Then I noticed the highlight on the red apple in the foreground and remembered I was really concerned about that and even tried to fix it in Photoshop and didn’t like the results. Now, I love the highlight!

The point I am trying to make is we are all so critical of our own work and sometimes just putting time between the shooting and editing or posting, gives us a different eye. Not only have we emotionally disconnected from our subject, but also as photographers/artist we have grown and growth is always a good thing!
