About the Image(s)
Thanks for the well wishes last month. I haven’t been shooting much but I recently went to a farm stand that only opens late November through around May with beautiful, fresh produce so I got inspired. This image was captured with my Nikon Z7-2 while mounted on a tripod. A 24-70 f/4 lens was used at 38mm, f/7.1 for .5 seconds along with a Godox AD400 Pro flash. As this was a fairly large spread my background was not wide enough so I added some in PS. I also increased the size of the canvas on the top and right size to help balance the image with the bottom and left side. In LR, I adjusted the white balance and made minor tweaks to highlights and shadows. I like this image as it reminds me that good wholesome foods help to make us feel better.

I like the composition very much. It looks like you had fun arranging this. But, as Piers noted, I agree that the saturation of the colors in the original appear more natural - the orange of the carrots, especially. Glad you were able to add the background to the vacant area on the right.
As a very minor detail, I would have taken the red rubber band off from around the stems of the Radish leaves and "fluffed" those leaves a bit to add more volume to that side. Posted: 12/08/2025 00:50:37
