This is beautiful mate!

I couldn't agree more!  With images like these, I believe it's a case of "if it looks right, it is right".  My first impressions were:
1) "Wow, $imon's done it again, that's just beautiful!"
2) "The Photoshopped painted effect works quite well for this image, kinda tones down the harshness of the composition"

As I looked more closely:

3) "I am distracted by the cherry surface, maybe too bumpy?  Been in the fridge too long?"

I have not compared it to real cherry photos, just allowed the image to speak for itself.  My impression (based on absolutely no research) is the the cherry could be smoother, and as Kreator said a drop of dew on the cherry, and perhaps another on the bench top, would be the "cherry on top" of this image (sorry, apologies for the atrocious pun!)  All that aside, a beautiful piece of work $imon!

hihosilver: I'm sorry but I've been busy all summer, my girlfriend is over so not much time for art :P in the near future I will have time again!

I can see how it might look I'm going for realism, but I figured I would say I'm going for a painterly look to not have to be too realistic.

Headwax: seems like you used the same 'make my name in japanese'-generator as i did ;)

ensoniq: thanks for the comments! I agree with the harshness, I wanted to keep it a bit more empty. The cherry's surface is surprisingly enough really like that, I thought it would be smoother as well.

Adding dew would make the piece look too crowded, and it would look out of place i think in an environment that isnt outside.. thats just the artists opinion ;)

Thanks for the comments all!

Hi simon! Long time since we last spoke...;)

I absolutly love your new work! The ambience of the pictures is great (no that I would expect anything less of you ;)).
I really like the textures too, they fit perfectly.

Mind sharing us the passes you used for this one (the non-photoshopped passes)....

keep it going and we have to talk some time again...

hihosilver:
Heh, no worries I know exactly what you mean.  After all, what have I produced this summer?  Now that the girlfriend's off to college I should be producing more art once I get my computer back.
