About the Image(s)

This image was taken on a trip to Boca Raton, Florida. It was taken at a coast line. I have never seen this before. It was a tree with very large leaves and grape like pods hanging down. I loved the way this plant looked. I took this image with my Nikon 800, lens 28-300 mm at 122 mm, 1/640, F 5.6, ISO 100. The time was 11:09 a.m. After looking this plant up on the internet. I found it is called a Sea Grape (Coccoloba Uvifera). It is a native plant in Florida and is grown around the ocean side and is used for landscaping.

Well seen Linda. I think your image looks like a still life one of the Masters could have painted. I really like how you have used light and dark to bring out your subject and focus the viewers attention on the fruit. Also, I feel that the presence of the water droplets adds interest and give the image a fresh look. The many shades of green, almost exclusively, really add to the image.   Posted: 06/04/2022 10:33:37

Well, it doesn't get much better than this! The consistent greens throughout are almost magic. My eye also went to the black branches or whatever that circle the one leaf and act as a leading line to the grapes. Reminds me of a crown of thorns. Well done! Bravo!   Posted: 06/04/2022 14:40:04

The photo leads my eyes to look at the grapes as they pop out from the image. The composition is also well planned. I also like the mood of it. The black line is a good leading line. Well Done!   Posted: 06/08/2022 21:36:17

Wonderful Linda. Colors shapes shading all beautiful. One to sell to an art dealer.   Posted: 06/18/2022 13:37:43

I really like this image, Linda. The fruit and leaves are tack sharp, giving us all the wonderful detail. The lighting is exquisite. It's not too harsh, not too soft. It really accentuates the shape and texture of the soft fruit, as well as the beading water on the leaves. I love how the light falls off as you move to the edge of the images, keeping your eyes right inside the frame. Great work!   Posted: 06/29/2022 22:27:33
