Well done Trena - thought that was the winner as soon as you posted it. The only surprise is that it didn't get more votes.

Ups & Downs

Up - Tomatoes by DigDiva - I liked this a lot - good saturation & well chosen point of focus. I did find the out of focus highlights centre left distracting & think I would have cloned them out, along with the pale patch top centre.

Down - Get the point by Arthur53 - Again I liked this, good use in DoF to focus the attention on the point. I think I would have liked a fraction more space to the right & below the point so that it didn't take the eye straight out of the picture.

Behind the scenes

I've been looking for an excuse to make a piece of "Rudra Glass" for a while. The only challenge was that I wanted the vernier scale on the micrometer to be the point of focus both on the original & in the reflection.

However because of the angle of the camera to the micrometer, the point of focus on the reflection was further forward throwing the scale out of focus - see attached.

The solution was to take a second shot focusing on the scale in the reflection & then merge the two in photoshop

my up is Rob's Geisha doll, perfect focus I thought.
my down was John&me, another very good shot and focus, we chose similar colours for this one....I thought all entries were really good,just a matter of choosing the subject matter that appeals to more viewers.

Gidders, thanks for the behind the scenes info,it is a very professional looking image.

My "up" was Grassface's Sinclair and my down was Arthur's knife. Both shots demonstrated the required effect but as with my effort were mightily surpassed by the winner.
