I will have my fruit on the ‘slide’, please! *hehehe… eh*
The cherries seemed to go over pretty well, so I decided to give some other fruit a try, too. Plus Kiwi was on sale – 3 for $1.00. Score.
*om nom nom*

It’s the trail that really makes it, ya know?
Thanks, Dishy -
I thought so, too.
Awesome! It looks yumtastic. I kinda want to lick the screen…
HA! Is that why our monitor is so streaky?!
I could almost taste it! Love the vibrant color of the Kiwi!
It’s a very interesting fruit, isn’t it? I remember the first time I saw one… I must have spent at least 15 minutes examining the crazy thing!
They remind me of testicles.
Suddenly I feel bad about slicing this one up so badly.
anyone wants to still lick it?
Hahaha…
I think I’ll pass…
I’ve met two types of kiwi eaters: those who eat the skin and those who don’t. Both think the other is weird.
You know…
I don’t think I even knew you could eat the skin! Now am all curious! Thanks very much for stopping by, Jason!
I eat the skin
Really? Other people have mentioned that, too – I have to admit… I had no idea!
Refreshingly delicious! Er, I mean, refreshingly beautiful!
Thank you very much, Ms. D!
I’m glad this one wasn’t too sour!
This is great! I can almost taste it!
Thanks so much!
Come to think of it, I probably should have tried a piece. The 5 second rule came and went on that piece-o-kiwi, but still…
My photographer friend and I were just talking about you at dinner last night. We were having an absolute meatfeast at a Brazilian all-you-can-eat place, and you came up. Isn’t that nice to know?
But yeah, I was telling him about the cherries and how much I loved them. And then this pops up in my Google Reader today. I’m going to go ahead and claim responsibility.
Hahaha – so THAT’S why my nose was itching!
Man, I hope I didn’t put you and your friend off your Brazilian eats!
Thanks so much, U.M. – this wouldn’t be the friend who photographed the cardinal?
It was! Aww, man, now it seems like I only have one friend. But yeah, we were talking about the ability to take a fairly standard photo and turn it into something worth looking at twice using Photoshop effects. I’m not sure I have the eye for that, but you and he both do, and I was saying that I’d love to see your original photos alongside their processed brothers like I have with his.
Hahaha… not at all! Just a wild guess!
Interesting… I’ve been toying with that idea myself… I might just try that shortly (I think that’s a very good idea, U.M.)!
Here’s something along those lines…

Funny–I thought there was a chance you wouldn’t want to show your befores and afters and give away your secrets, but not only do I still not know your secrets, but now I’m even more impressed with the photo than I was when it seemed to just naturally come out that way.
Oh I just Loooove kiwi fruit. But where’s the ice cream. The green against the B&W background is really effective
Kiwi and ice cream? I have to admit I’ve never tried that combination, Tony… it sounds pretty good, though!
Thank you very much! We have a few of these metal plates upstairs in our store, and I’ve really enjoyed using them as backdrops.
Kiwi is an all-time favorite of mine! Rugged, delicate and colorful, I’m lovin’ what you do with your fruit S-i-g! I’ll have to try the kiwi + icecream thing too.
It’s an interesting food, isn’t it?
Thanks so much, Lynn! I’ve got a few more ideas in mind too, but those might be in the works for a while, though…
Looks like the start of a series, SIG. I don’t know if you can beat the beautiful and erotic cherries though.
The slide works so well. That kiwi fruit looks over ripe and a bit bruised so I don’t want to eat it I’m afraid. Eating the skin?!! How uncomfortable!
It seems like there might be a shot or two in a pomegranate…
I completely agree S.E., this one isn’t infused with as much ‘stuff’ as the cherries are. Without the ‘trail’ I doubt it would work at all for me.
I honestly had no idea kiwi skin was even edible until today… interesting…
I must say I’ve never heard of anyone eating the skin. It would be like eating rodent fur
*cough cough gag*
Look it is Karma. We both posted about round green food today.
Good call, Bearman…
I guess we both got the memo!
Love the boldness of the color of the kiwi. it really sets off the design nicely.
Thank you very much, George! I really desaturated the background as well to make it stand out a bit more, too.
Thank you so much for stopping by – I really appreciate it!
It does make a very good pair with the cherries picture. The colour really stands out against the background. You could do this with all sorts of fruits.
Thank you very much, Binky!
I think you’re right…
it seems like a pomegranate might be interesting…
love the color selection u did. it kiwi looks alive and vibrant.
Thank you very much, Mr. J!
I toned back / desaturated the background quite a bit in the hope I would get just that reaction!
That composition is odd enough that I like it!! And the color contrast, too.
Thanks very much, sir!
I’m not sure this one was effective as the cherries, but it does seem like there’s still a little ‘something going on’ there… I think… maybe…
Great color, with that thin line of skin around the edge outlineint the kiwi-green, and a nice grungy background. It tastes cool and a little sweet-sour.
Very kind of you to say, sir! We have a few of these metal plates in our attic that have such wonderful grungy texture… I’ve been having a lot of fun using them as backdrops. Thank you so much for stopping by, Mr. D!
This is great! Looks like the kiwi version of ‘Wilson’.
Hahaha…
He’s such a bum. I’m always making random fires, and huts, and searching for water, and he just sits there looking all aloof. Blah.
Have to love it when it’s on sale.
Absolutely! My wallet loves it, too!
Three for a dollar… that sure is a good buy! But the best thing is what you did with the kiwi. LOVE it!!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Juana – I had a lot of fun with this… and on the cheap, too! Two for two isn’t bad!
Nicely done and processed this would have also worked for the “round” challenge.
Thank you very much!
Good call, Ms. R – I had not thought of that!
Well that looks pretty perfect to me, and has the horror film mood to it… Although I’m not entirely sure how threatening a slice of kiwi could be though… but this one certainly looks like it could give a grape of two a run for their money…
Thank you very much, sir!
Hahaha… I hear this one’s gotten some attention in all the major food groups…
