This is a picture of an apple sitting on a piece of poster-board in my kitchen. When I first saw it after taking it I wasn't sure how the lighting would play out. However, once I got it on a computer I realized how low the lighting had been, but by selecting the apple and creating a layer mask I was able to brighten and increase the contrast on the background while slightly enhancing the red of the apple, while still keeping the deep red that makes it so enticing. The use of space and shape help to really bring the apple to life, and the shadow helps to create a 3D effect (giving it gravity)
