Ripe Tomato

i like the cropped one better too. the colors are very rich and vibrant, but i have wondered if you used photoshop or some other program to oversaturate them? what causes me to wonder is that the red and the green colors almost "run together" if that makes sense? this is not really a criticism, but an observation. however, if the answer to my question is yes, then i would suggest to tone it down a little if you've artifically altered them.

otherwise, a very nice image!

Stew - your observations about the cropped version are very astute! I played with some lighting effects in digital enhancement. I'm just learning about this sort of stuff. All the feedback from responses here are very helpful. Thanks.
